How it feels

A deliberately clumsy physics puzzler where you roll and extend a box through minimal, retro-styled chambers with a tense, trial-and-error feel.

What players say

Players praise the unique torque-based movement but warn the physics can feel unintuitive and the delay between deaths slows the pace. The minimalist art style divides opinion, and some note the lack of progress saving and a short runtime as drawbacks.
