How it feels

A frantic, colorful side-scroller with a weirdly charming tone, where you dash through linear levels as a hot dog investigating a mystery.

What players say

Players love the speedrun mode with leaderboards, calling it an addictive, easy to learn but hard to master platformer. Most finish in 15 minutes and say replay value relies on chasing better times, though some hope future updates add more content.
