How it feels

You play as a salaryman frantically platforming through colorful, cartoonish levels while using suitcases as weapons to catch a bus on time.

What players say

Players call it a Mario clone with slow, clunky controls and a punishing difficulty that the built-in Assist Mode helps but does not fix. Shared button bindings frustrate some, but speedrunning fans and extra mission modes keep others playing. The briefcase gimmick and dark corporate premise get mixed reactions.
