How it feels
A brutally difficult 2D platformer where you control a springy character with only two inputs, relying on physics and strategy to overcome each chamber.

What players say
Players compare it to Jump King and Pogostuck, praising the spring-based controls that remove walking and make every landing matter. The difficulty is higher than Jump King, with some calling it a foddian game for masochists, though reviews split on whether the early levels are too punishing before the curve flattens.
