How it feels

a short, punishing puzzle-platformer where you clumsily manage an absurdly long sword, mixing frustration with self-aware humour.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It but find it shorter, funnier, and less punishing. The physics are often described as janky, leading to frustrating inconsistency. Long-time players split on the controls: some find them satisfying, others say the same inputs give different results.
