How it feels

A punishing precision platformer where you blast upward with a shotgun, each mistimed shot sending you back to the bottom of the climb.

What players say

Players describe it as extremely difficult and addictive, comparing it to Getting Over It or Flappy Bird with a gun. There are no checkpoints and the controls are responsive, making falls feel fair. Opinions split on the sound design, with some calling it flat and repetitive, while a few note screen tearing.
