How it feels
A brutally difficult and tense stair-climbing experience where every step feels like a punishing struggle for a lone musician.

What players say
Players enjoy the funny and awkward aesthetic but note it is very short, easy, and not mechanically deep, with controls reminiscent of QWOP. It is a simple climbing game with no real failure conditions.
