“Wonderful game, took me 5 hours to beat, and I found almost all collectibles. Movement is fairly intuitive but still kinda unique. Definitely would recommend, especially for how low a price it is. 10/10, buy it, play solo or with friends”

— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Tried to scam the 'continued inertia when respawning at checkpoint' feature to jump past a tricky section. 1/50 tries the game didn't respawn me for falling too far and I catch a checkpoint at the very bottom of the map and can't go back to the top. Never opening the game again.…”
