How it feels

A high-intensity sprint through short levels where constant motion and speed are the only way to survive.

What players say

Players enjoy the movement-focused gameplay with grappling and wall running, though several note the grapple needs tuning. The game is a short, linear FPS with a low-poly look, described by some as a student project lacking polish and depth.
