How it feels

A methodical puzzle-platformer where you stretch, split, and stick your way through levels, testing dexterity with each new ability.

What players say

Players praise the split mechanic and gradual introduction of new abilities, but some find the controls too loose for a precision platformer. Reviews are split on difficulty: some find it challenging but fair, while one calls it disrespectfully designed.
