What players say

What an amazing game for free! And even for the price of 5 USD it was a great deal! I personally love the pixel art, but even ignoring that, as a platformer it's a lot of fun. Nice (quite basic) mechanics, satisfying platforming. Quite quick and easy to "beat", but quite difficult to 100% complete.

super fun addictive movement & speedrunning, only thing i dislike is that the s ranks are abysmal it feels rng even though its (probably) not

I'm not really a speedrunner so getting the speedrun achievements isn't my style, but i loved getting all the S-ranks. Really awesome platformer, so glad it's free or else i might've never played it.
