How it feels

A lonely, precise platforming metroidvania where you methodically create your own footholds to explore a decaying puppet world.

What players say

A short metroidvania built around a unique scissor-based movement system where you stick your weapon into walls to climb. Players praise the clever platforming and smooth controls, but some note the combat is trivial due to an overabundance of healing items, and there are no boss fights at all.
