How it feels

A frantic first-person adventure where you swing and leap through zero-g fights using a magic tether, combining acrobatic movement with sudden sword clashes.

What players say

Players praise the pirate parkour and swagger gauge but split on the controls, some find them fluid while others call them janky and unresponsive. The lack of a save system frustrates many. The game is short with a sharp difficulty spike at the end, and several players see speedrun potential.
