How it feels

A high-energy cyberpunk platformer where time-bending abilities and stylish shuriken combat create a fluid, action-hero feeling.

What players say

Players agree this is extremely short, often calling it a 1-2 hour game, and recommend buying it only when deeply discounted. The time-slowing and stop mechanics are a highlight, but the one-hit-death difficulty and rough performance on high settings hold it back. The developer is a solo indie and the game feels incomplete, with no achievements and a clunky UI.
