How it feels

Moving by attacking enemies gives a fluid, kinetic feeling as you slice through beautiful, twisted landscapes.

What players say

A mobile port that replaces jumping with a dash-to-attack mechanic, controlled by mouse and keyboard. Players say it starts easy but grows challenging, with a sudden difficulty spike in the final levels. Some find the gameplay repetitive, and the odd boss designs are a highlight.
