How it feels

A precision platformer where you phase obstacles by switching colors, balancing quick reflexes with careful puzzle-solving in a minimalist pixel world.

What players say

Players call it a challenging time-based platformer with a color-switching gimmick that controls how you interact with levels. Opinions split on polish: some find it rewarding, one calls it poorly made. A few mention a hidden gun that edits the stage.
