How it feels
A stripped-down, demanding platformer that tests raw skill and persistence with no handholding.

What players say
Players describe a 2D platformer with a unique twist: you cannot jump, only bounce off walls by controlling your falling speed. It is very hard, with long checkpoint gaps and trial-and-error design that leads to frustration. Players split on whether the difficulty is well-crafted or just punishing for its own sake.
