How it feels

A punishing, rage-inducing precision platformer where each tiny success feels triumphant, set against hand-painted environments and mocking NPCs.

What players say

Players are split on this precision platformer. Many praise the gorgeous art and music, but a vocal group calls the movement glitchy and inconsistent, with softlocks and unclear background/foreground distinction. Long-time reviews say the developer abandoned the game after release.
