How it feels

A frantic, colorful romp as a robo-octopus with floaty physics and arcade-style action in a post-apocalyptic anime Japan.

What players say

Players call it a loving take on Jumping Flash, praising the controls and Japanese city-pop soundtrack. The energy management mechanic divides players: some find it puzzle-like and rewarding, others say it kills exploration. Reviews note a quality drop in the second half after Early Access, and the developer's defensiveness about criticism.
