How it feels
You control a sentient sludge climbing through a gorgeously pixelated underground dump in a tough, precision platformer that rewards fast retries and tight wall-clinging mechanics.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the challenge and checkpoint placement, while many criticize the short camera view that forces blind jumps and memorization over skill, calling it artificial difficulty. It is a free, hardcore 2D platformer that can be rage-inducing.
