What players say

Players praise the striking pixel art and atmospheric sound design, but disagree on the gameplay: some find it a relaxing exploration, others call it frustrating due to slippery physics and unclear paths. The game is short, often completed in about 3 hours, with a wordless story and mixed feelings on its platforming challenge.
