How it feels

A fast-paced 2D platformer set in a surreal 3D graffiti world, where changing camera angles and gravity create a playful but deadly puzzle challenge.

What players say

Players love the graffiti-inspired art and the 2D platformer in a 3D world concept, but the PC port is plagued by crashes, a 30 fps lock, and floaty imprecise controls that make some call it unplayable. The game ends on a sequel hook that never came.
