How it feels

You pilot a wobbly ship through a void, collecting souls in short, challenging levels that feel like a free-range Pac-Man with gravity.

What players say

Players praise this short, challenging game for its tight controls and satisfying difficulty curve. Many note the slow-motion button helps manage the steep learning curve, and the game is often compared favorably to the developer's earlier title LOVE.
