How it feels

A high-energy, punishing loop of skating, trick combos, and hack-and-slash combat through a hellish dungeon that resets on each death.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the unique blend of skateboarding and roguelike combat, praising the art style and soundtrack. However, many criticize the floaty skating, lack of momentum, and clunky controls, with reports that the game feels rushed and unsupported, leaving it in an unfinished state.
