How it feels

You guide a clown balancing on a ball through treacherous paths with permadeath and precise climbing, creating a tense, unforgiving experience.

What players say

Players describe it as a climbing game with a clown on a ball, using physics and velocity. Many find the controls frustrating, with a camera too close and inverted mouse by default. Players are split on whether it is fun or unplayable, and some note the walking sections are especially glitchy. The horror tag is widely considered misleading.
