How it feels

You clumsily control a newly animated test dummy, guided by a surprised narrator through a goofy escape from a mad scientist's facility.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy-style narration, but say the physics feel inconsistent and the movement is clunky, making it more frustrating than challenging. Completion takes about an hour.
