How it feels

A fast-paced, addictive side-scrolling jumper where absurd hats and character customization keep the challenge of dodging cacti feeling light and silly.

What players say

Players describe it as a casual arcade platformer with a three-button jump system (1, 2, or 3 spaces). It has 40 levels, achievements and unlocks add replay, but lacks full controller support. Opinions split on depth: some find it fun for short bursts, others get bored quickly.
