What players say

Players praise the novel jetpack-and-recoil movement and checkpoint system, but the controls are widely called awkward and the difficulty frustrating, with some finding it tedious and others calling it a good challenge. A few players note the music becomes repetitive and the later chapters have a divisive physics shift.
