How it feels

A gleefully absurd physics platformer where you clumsily fly a lion by igniting thrusters on its body, with a tone that's both silly and lightly ominous.

What players say

Players call it a rocket lion QWOP-like with intentionally frustrating controls. Difficulty spikes early, notably a waterfall level and chandelier model that causes stuck characters. Some find the time-out stages too strict. Players split: some get hooked by the challenge, others see no reason for the game to exist.
