How it feels
A cute, fast-paced precision platformer where you dash into enemies for blood as you ascend procedurally generated rooms.

What players say
Players describe a very short precision platformer that can be cleared in under an hour, built around a dash attack that hooks into enemies for health. The controls feel floaty at first but are responsive once learned. Some note broken achievements and a $4 price that feels steep for the length.
