How it feels

A deceptively simple and meditative puzzle-platformer where you navigate with just one button through increasingly tricky, atmospheric levels.

What players say

Players are split on this brief puzzle game. Its core mechanic involves auto-rotating and hooking to walls, but the 24 levels take only 12 to 15 minutes to finish, which some find laughably short. Many say the price feels too high for the content, though achievement hunters and those seeking a casual time-killer praise it.
