How it feels

A bouncy, lighthearted physics platformer where you roll as a cute cardboard box through colorful worlds, collecting items and racing friends.

What players say

Players are split on this indie collect-a-thon. Some praise its physics-based movement and old-school charm, while others find the controls frustrating and the hub world aimless. Comparisons to Banjo-Kazooie are frequent, and most agree it is short and rough around the edges.
