How it feels

You fling a hero through a colorful, physics-driven dungeon, bouncing off cute monsters and hazards while making strategic choices in a single-life run.

What players say

Players compare it to Peggle with roguelike elements. The health system divides them: hitting enemies costs health, which some find punishing and backwards, while others appreciate managing health as a resource. Runs can last about an hour. Some find the visuals overstimulating and the pacing too slow with frequent interruptions.
