How it feels

A punishing 2.5D platformer with retro mechanics and a stark, stylized atmosphere, where you control a crash test dummy navigating a nonlinear simulation.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and precise jump mechanics, but note the game is short with only two large levels. The difficulty is punishing yet fair, with well-placed checkpoints to ease frustration. Some players dislike the mandatory collectible grind required to reach the final boss.
