How it feels
A blisteringly fast, acrobatic platformer with a neon-drenched 80s synthwave aesthetic that demands precise control and quick reflexes.

What players say
Players praise the fluid grappling hook movement and speedrun-friendly level design, comparing it to Celeste and Super Meat Boy. The difficulty ramps up quickly but stays fair, with optional harder challenges. A few mention a persistent graphical bug on Linux that the developer has not fixed.
