How it feels

A wobbly, low-stakes trek through a cave to cheer up a sad virus by hunting down beer bottles while sidestepping simple traps and bouncing on trampolines.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a harmless short platformer or a cynical asset flip. Fans enjoy the absurd premise of collecting beer bottles and the funny death physics, while critics call it shovelware stolen from another developer and note that controls are poorly implemented.
