How it feels

You control a cute penguin using a grappling hook to climb a treacherous ice crevasse, with precise physics and slippery movement making each ascent feel tense and rewarding.

What players say

Players warn of a brutal difficulty spike in the late game and say normal mode lacks saves or checkpoints, though an easy mode makes it more manageable. The game is described as janky, and some note the music was added after release.
