How it feels

A lean, demanding 2D platformer where precise body projection and quick reflexes are key to mastering an ever-tougher gauntlet of levels.

What players say

Players say the momentum-based platforming takes getting used to, and the difficulty can be more frustrating than Getting Over It. The game is short and cheap, with some praising the colorful later levels while others find them shocking.
