How it feels
A punishing but darkly funny precision platformer where every leap feels tense and every death is a grim punchline.

What players say
Players praise the tight, precise controls and challenging level design, though some find the music disappointing compared to Super Meat Boy. Opinions split on the limited lives system in later chapters, with some calling it excessively frustrating.
