How it feels

A tough but rewarding platformer where each death leads to a unique descendant and persistent upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the innovative lineage system where each child inherits traits from the previous run, making every attempt feel distinct. However, many find the meta progression grindy and combat simplistic, with some criticizing the controls as unresponsive on keyboard.
