How it feels

You control a knight on a pogo stick, bouncing through procedurally shifting trap-filled rooms in a tense, precise platforming challenge.

What players say

Players praise the novel always-bouncing mechanic and the bullet-hell platforming, but note the game stays visually the same and gets repetitive. The difficulty spikes hard, especially in the final stage and the unbalanced boss-rush challenge mode, and there is no way to exit the game without alt+F4.
