How it feels

A fast, synthwave-driven combat platformer where levels shift dynamically, demanding sharp reflexes and precise attacks.

What players say

Players praise the speedrunning-focused platforming and leaderboard integration, but many find the jumping floaty and the neon visuals noisy. Opinions are split on the boss fights, which some say ruin the pacing, and on the controls, which can feel heavy. An assist mode helps players adjust difficulty.
