How it feels

A frantic sidescrolling shooter where you constantly flip between two timelines to dodge obstacles and build a risk multiplier for higher scores.

What players say

Players praise the wormhole mechanic and risk-reward system for high scores, and many call the music excellent. However, reviews split: some find the no-continue structure and lack of a safety net too punishing, while others say the game rewards mastery. Several note it has no story or characters, and the audience is niche.
