What players say

Players praise the core mechanic of only jumping when falling from ledges, calling it creative and rewarding. However, they report the level-sharing servers are shut down, the story ends unsatisfactorily, and the game suffers from visual clutter that makes platforms hard to read. There are also persistent bugs like crates breaking on moving surfaces and long respawn times.
