How it feels

A cute but punishing puzzle-platformer where you carefully launch a fragile marshmallow through deadly hazards, balancing adorable visuals with brutal, tense difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the escalating difficulty, which starts easy and becomes brutally hard by later worlds. The game draws comparisons to Super Meat Boy and offers character customization, but one reviewer found the 2D art unappealing.
