How it feels
A deceptively cute but brutally precise platformer that demands mastery of unique controls while carrying a somber undertone.

What players say
Players call this a brutal and unforgiving puzzle game with a unique climbing mechanic, though some find the camera too close and the bubble popping too quick. Controls feel novel but are a sticking point.
