How it feels
A cute but punishing 2D platformer about climbing with wires, requiring creative problem-solving and precise movement.

What players say
A cheap grappling-hook platformer in the foddian style (Getting Over It, Jump King) that players say is fun but unforgiving. The notorious 28% checkpoint forces long returns after most falls, and only one stage is available, players ask for the locked stages 2 and 3 to be released.
