How it feels

A fast-paced, cartoony precision platformer that blends lighthearted humor with crisp, punishing jumps and a colorfully cinematic atmosphere.

What players say

Players compare it to Only Up with more original assets and voice acting, but note glitchy mantling and a ten-second death-respawn delay. The game taunts you when you fall and offers a harder mode with a different soundtrack. Controls divide some players, who find ledge climbing cramps the hand.
