How it feels

A retro-styled platformer with a vaporwave soundtrack and tricky gravity-based puzzles that feel playful yet punishing.

What players say

Players praise the vaporwave soundtrack and retro visuals, but some find the VHS effects straining on the eyes. The gravity-flip platforming gets challenging, especially in New Game Plus, though a few reviewers call the gameplay basic after a short while.
