How it feels

A playful, gravity-bending platformer where you casually stick to walls and solve puzzles with a light, comic-book feel.

What players say

Players say this is a short game, beatable in under an hour, but they die a lot and enjoy speedrunning it. The gravity-changing mechanic is the highlight, drawing comparisons to VVVVVV. The difficulty ramps up with each level.
