A slow, precise puzzle game where every step costs a life, forcing careful planning under constant pressure.

What players say

Players praise the clever level design and fair difficulty curve, where limited steps force efficient routing. The game introduces new mechanics steadily, leading to puzzles that demand planning. Some find the monster pathing confusing and note there is no undo button, though checkpoint flags help. Long-time players wish for user-generated levels.
