How it feels

A tense and punishing single-life platformer that mixes frustration with dryly funny motivational tips as you restart again and again.

What players say

Players call it a 3D take on the I Wanna Be The Guy formula, with trap gauntlets that test patience and reflexes. Hit detection is loose, the difficulty is punishing, but finishing it feels rewarding. Some compare its depth to Cosmic Disco. A handful of reviewers say the game is mentally exhausting rather than fun.
