How it feels
A fast, unforgiving arcade-style game where you control a craft with realistic physics through short, brutal obstacle courses and instantly restart upon death.

What players say
Players call it a physics puzzle that blends Super Meat Boy and Lunar Lander, with each level changing the rules. The minimalist line art and electro-classical soundtrack are praised, and the 100-level campaign is considered short but satisfying. A level editor extends the experience.
