How it feels

A tongue-in-cheek, punishingly difficult retro runner that parodies fitness culture with minimal controls and deliberately over-the-top bravado.

What players say

Players call it an achievement farm with 555 unlocks tied to jumping and dying. The gameplay is just hopping across platforms with no collectibles or upgrades, and some find it poorly made with weak music and performance.
