How it feels

A bright and breezy 3D platformer where you fluidly run and leap between dimensions to solve puzzles and restore balance.

What players say

Players praise the dimension-switching and wallrunning mechanics but are frustrated by a buggy, unfinished feel. The camera and controls are widely called clumsy, and the 13-level campaign is considered too short for the asking price. Opinions split: speedrunners still find the movement fun, while others say poor execution ruins the concept.
