How it feels
a frantic and punishing precision platformer where you control a superhero navigating colorful, comic-book-style levels with quick reflexes and repeated deaths.

What players say
Players compare it to Celeste and Super Meat Boy, with some praising its tight controls and difficulty curve while others call the movement clunky. Many note the dash jump mechanic feels broken, especially in a frustrating lava chase level near the end. It runs well on Steam Deck and is short but offers extra challenges for completionists.
