How it feels

A brutally tough platformer where you repeatedly die and restart, managing rocket fuel and heat while crawling through hellish biomes with a dark sense of humor.

What players say

Players describe a brutally difficult climbing game with a jetpack that feels deliberately awkward to steer. The game gives almost no instructions, its checkpoints are nearly useless, and death means starting over. Many compare it to Jump King or I Wanna Be the Guy, and several note it is the developer's first game.
