How it feels

A frantic arcade-platformer where you dodge traps and monsters in a dream, solving puzzles with permadeath tension.

What players say

Players praise the dance mechanic and soundtrack but are split on difficulty: many find stages brutally hard, with random color puzzles and disorienting gravity sections earning particular frustration. The save system and controller menu navigation are criticized, while the developer's ongoing updates through 2023 are noted positively.
