How it feels

A fast and frantic pixel-art platformer that demands precise movement and quick reflexes while permadeath and procedural levels keep every run tense and unpredictable.

What players say

Players praise the inventive mechanics and emergent gameplay, but nearly all warn that the developer abandoned it after a decade in Early Access, leaving the game unfinished and receiving only token updates to avoid Steam warnings.
