How it feels

A fast and precise action-platformer that relies on rocket-jump movement to climb a dying world, blending methodical planning with twitch reflexes.

What players say

Players love the rocket jumping mechanic and find the controls easy to learn but hard to master. The game is compared to Super Meat Boy with a unique twist. It is relentlessly difficult, but addictive for speedrunning, with leaderboards for times and rockets used. Some note the VR version has polished camera handling.
