What players say
Players describe a one-button auto-run platformer where the protagonist constantly runs forward and jumps to rescue a friend. Difficulty spikes sharply from chapter two onward, and dying sends you far back with no checkpoints, which some find frustrating. A few warn the visuals cause eye strain.
