How it feels

A fast, punishing arcade-runner where you replay short levels over and over to shave off milliseconds, driven by a driving synthwave soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the fluid movement and synthwave soundtrack, but note the 20-level campaign is short and bright colors can cause eye strain. Some report leaderboard cheating, and many wish for a level editor or more content.
