How it feels

A tense but forgiving 3D platformer where precise jumps through a hand-drawn world are offset by frequent checkpoints and easy pausing.

What players say

Players praise the art style and parkour, but many complain about a camera that turns with the character, making jumps frustrating. The game is short and lacks controller support. Opinions split on whether the rough edges add charm or just annoy.
