How it feels

Bounding and flailing through dreamlike obstacle courses with intentionally awkward physics, making each leap a mix of frustration and goofy joy.

What players say

Players compare this physics platformer to the spring mushroom from Mario Galaxy or the rolling sections in SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom. Many call it rage-inducingly difficult, especially from the midway point, while others find it well-suited for short sessions alongside a podcast. Fans of developer Stegersaurus' earlier Mount Your Friends will recognize the visual style.
