How it feels
A fast, momentum-driven platformer where diving into the ground lets you defy gravity in tight, punishing puzzles.

What players say
Players praise the unique burrow-and-launch mechanic and fluid movement that make speedrunning satisfying, though the sun medal time requirements are often inconsistent and brutally hard, one level took a reviewer three hours. The minimalist pixel art and retro soundtrack are easy on the eyes, and the level gating lets you skip frustrating stages.
