How it feels

A tense, unforgiving precision platformer where every misstep chips away at your sanity in a darkly humorous, psychological horror dreamscape.

What players say

Players say it is a brutally difficult foddian platformer that evokes the frustration and satisfaction of Getting Over It and Jump King. The mouse-and-hold-space controls are simple but hard to master, and the lack of a restart button is a common complaint. Long-time players also note that the narrator taunts you on failure and the game is well-suited for streaming to friends.
