What players say

Players praise the rewind mechanic as forgiving and unique, but split on difficulty: some find it a casual puzzle-platformer, others rage-quit mid-game. Reviews note no pause menu or settings, occasional invisible obstacles, and spelling errors. Comparisons to Celeste and I Wanna Be The Guy appear.
