How it feels

A cheerful platforming adventure where you wall-walk through a cartoony world, collecting positive affirmations as a cute cactus protagonist.

What players say

Players are split on this autorunner from the Dadish creator. Some love the humor and charm, but many find the character too slow and the lack of side-to-side movement frustrating. The levels are short but can spike in difficulty.
