How it feels

A frantic and precise 2D platformer where you blast yourself upward using a shotgun's recoil through a dark, unsettling pixelated world.

What players say

A precision platformer that plays like Jump King but with forgiving mechanics: players can aim their shots, use limited checkpoints, and pogo to save a fall. Players agree it is relentlessly difficult and frustrating, yet that struggle makes progress feel satisfying and keeps them coming back.
