How it feels

A deliberately frustrating, meta-absurd roguelike that traps you in a monotonous loop with a deadpan warning not to look for secrets, punishing curiosity with probable death.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this hour-long genre-hopping platformer. Some find the constant switching between basic minigames (platformer, top-down shooter, sidescroller) charming and well-paced, while others call it a janky, boring mess with clunky controls and repetitive design. Many note the lack of guidance and an annoying soundtrack.
