How it feels

A lighthearted, colorful pixel-art runner where a mage floats and jumps through dynamically generated obstacle courses at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and soundtrack, but many find the controls clumsy and the lack of checkpoints punishing. The campaign is short, around one hour, with an endless mode for score chasing. Opinion is split on difficulty, with some appreciating the challenge and others calling it frustrating.
