How it feels

A fast-paced, challenging platformer where split-second decisions and precise use of teleportation and charging create a fluid, puzzle-filled journey through a hand-drawn mythical world.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art but are split on the gameplay: some find it rewarding, while others call the controls clunky and the difficulty punishing. The game is short, around 4 hours, with a difficulty spike at the end that divides reviewers.
