How it feels

A simple-looking cube platformer that demands precise timing and patience through slippery and bouncy surfaces while avoiding spinning gears.

What players say

Players widely agree the cube controls poorly, with floaty acceleration, ice-like ground friction, and unresponsive inputs that make precise movement frustrating. A few find the challenge appealing for hardcore fans, but most say the difficulty comes from broken physics rather than clever level design, and the game can be finished in under two hours.
