What players say

Players praise the novel no-jump mechanic that turns platforming into a puzzle of momentum and timing. Deaths are frequent but rarely frustrating thanks to respawns that put you right back at the obstacle. The short campaign and low price are consistently noted, though a few players wish there were more varied platforming challenges rather than timed hazards.
