How it feels

A whimsical, physics-driven climbing adventure that feels playful and lighthearted, with a gentle challenge.

What players say

Players love the charm and music but warn the game is buggy. Ledges and the spin mechanic are inconsistent, and softlocks or impossible procedurally generated levels can end a run. The first half is strong, but the second half's navigation and bugs frustrate. Players are split on whether the bugs ruin the fun or add to it.
