How it feels

A tight, minimalist puzzle-platformer where each screen demands precise timing and controlled bouncing, with a steady rhythm of checkpoints pushing you forward.

What players say

Players praise its atmosphere and creative ball abilities, calling it a worthy follow-up to Within a Deep Forest with a metroidvania structure. However, they consistently warn about frustrating backtracking made worse by few save points and no fast travel, with physics that take time to master.
