How it feels

A deliberately punishing, darkly comedic precision platformer where each ascent mixes slapstick physics tension with a surreal, haunting sense of futility.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It, calling it both more frustrating and a gentler entry point. Most say it is short, around 1-2 hours, but has no save function and a buggy direction arrow. A minority report physics that feel broken rather than skill-based, while others call the difficulty fair.
