How it feels

A fast-paced, old-school pixel art endless runner that feels addictive and challenging, with a friendly, funny tone and a focus on quick reflex-based scoring.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy it as a simple endless runner for achievements, but many call it a bad game. Several say its speed is tied to framerate, making it unplayable without capping FPS. Traps and obstacles often feel random and unfair, with deaths attributed to luck, not skill.
