How it feels

A frustratingly tricky platformer where time stands still until you move, demanding careful timing and precise jumps through hazardous levels.

What players say

Players praise the unique mechanic where time stops when the player stands still, comparing it to Superhot. The art style is compared to 90s Nickelodeon cartoons. Reviews split on difficulty, with many calling it frustratingly hard while others find it fair, common complaint is an oversized hitbox. A level editor with Steam Workshop support adds value.
