How it feels

A chaotic, glitch-filled platformer where you wielding a stick as a literal afterthought hero.

What players say

Players praise the spear's creative uses, from aimed throws that slow time to recoil jumps that propel the character sideways. The game is hard, with some calling it precision platforming, and secret levels that are even more brutal. Controls feel fluid and responsive, though combat is minimal. A few note rough edges expected from a solo developer.
