How it feels

A calm, precise platformer where you control a character using a hook swung with circular mouse motions, pulling yourself through nature and underground environments.

What players say

Players praise the natural mouse-controlled grappling hook physics, calling the game skill-based and punishing of mistakes. There is no plot, only a blob traversing a cave.
