What players say

Players love the completely original sine-wave movement, but warn it has a steep learning curve. Once it clicks, the game becomes deeply satisfying and addictive, with quick restarts and a flow-state feel. It has 80 levels, multiple routes for speedrunners, and players compare it favorably to 90s platformers and Kuru Kuru Kururin.
