How it feels
A demanding precision platformer that blends cute pixel visuals with tense, sweaty-palm gameplay as you guide a small axolotl through treacherous obstacles.

What players say
Players call it a cute but short precision platformer, roughly 30 minutes to an hour for the base 50 levels. The deathless challenge is the real draw, though some say the coconut physics feel inconsistent and the lack of control rebinding frustrates keyboard users. A few compare it favorably to Celeste as a lighter introduction to the genre.
