How it feels

A punishing arcade platformer that demands repeated attempts and quick reflexes, with a darkly humorous tone about saving falling nuts.

What players say

Players call it the Dark Souls of platformers: a brutally hard arcade game where every level must be beaten in under 15 seconds. Controls are a frequent frustration, with some saying key bindings are locked and awkward.
