What players say

Players describe it as a fast, first-person game about impaling enemies by running into them at speed. The consensus is that it is very short, around an hour, with a unique momentum-based mechanic but janky hit detection and inconsistent physics. Some praise the concept and visual style, while others feel it is too unpolished and barebones.
