How it feels
A minimalistic sports arcade game with psychedelic visuals, electronic music, and sudden difficulty spikes that feels like an experimental reflex test.

What players say
Players are split on this minimalist arcade game about keeping a gauge near full by pressing space. Many call it boring or a college project, while a few find it hypnotic for short bursts. The developer's decision to include an unobtainable achievement and a dismissive attitude toward completionists drew lasting criticism.
