How it feels

A frantic, punishing platformer with absurd humor and a bouncy, awkward feel, driven by a satirical story and tight speedrun-focused level design.

What players say

Players praise the unique hop-based movement and precise level design, comparing it to Celeste and Super Meat Boy. Some find the controls frustrating, with quirks like getting pushed off corners and slippery stopping making certain sections feel unfair.
