How it feels

A chaotic, high-speed telekinetic brawler where you must keep moving through cluttered cityscapes, launching objects and slaughtering enemies with a darkly comic, bloody tone.

What players say

Players praise the fast parkour and movement depth, calling it a mix of Mirror's Edge and Half-Life 2's gravity gun, but many warn development stalled with no updates since 2022. A major complaint is that high scores save as Steam Workshop items, cluttering profiles with no opt-out, and the endgame difficulty spike makes some quit.
