How it feels

A frantic, one-button platformer where every jump and dodge demands lightning reflexes and quick wits against a backdrop of gorgeous, mythological art.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and music, but call the difficulty uneven, you might breeze through late levels yet get stuck early. The one-button control is simple but demands precise timing, and many compare it to Super Meat Boy for its fast, punishing platforming.
