How it feels

A tense, fast-paced 2D platformer where each pixel-perfect jump matters and failure means restarting from scratch.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and old-school pixel art, but many say it feels unfinished, the second level is incomplete, there is no restart button after losing all lives, and background music is missing.
