What players say

While even the description for this game admits that it is "brutally hard", I cannot claim that has a hard difficulty that feels satisfying in any way. The positives I can say are that the control is actually overall pretty good, the art style is neat, and I generally like the music. But what absolutely kills this game is the level design. World 1 is at least tolerable, but by the time I got to the end of World 2...

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Unfair precision platformer with no music, nauseating and obfuscating visual effects, tiny platforms, tons of checkpoints and moaning on respawn. Avoid.

When you navigate left to Bonus Content, you can't navigate right to return to the World 1 page. No clear way to exit on Steam Deck. (Pressing Select button a few times was a lucky guess)
