How it feels
A whimsical puzzle-platformer where you rotate the entire level around a central key to guide a cute character through coin-filled, stylized 2D worlds.

What players say
Players enjoy the rotating gravity mechanic that makes this a timing-based puzzle platformer, but note it is short, around 1 to 4 hours. Some find the challenge too demanding for casual play, while others appreciate the satisfying momentum possible in speedruns. The dark atmosphere and music are praised, but a few reviewers call the early repetition tedious.
