To start off, buy the game: it's cheap and it achieves the zen experience. That being said, while it's certainly a very breezy experience, I feel like I could easily get tired of this game after only a few playthroughs - and I don't want to be, the controls and game feel are pretty smooth and it does calm you down. So, instead of a meditative experience, make it a meditative [b][i]adventure.[/i][/b] More environment types, more collectible types (maybe?), maybe even tricks, some platforming puzzles, multiplayer (though be careful if you decide to implement text or voice chat - a few select assholes could very easily ruin the vibe), a zen soundtrack or the option to load your own music... These are just spitballs but I would do anything to not have to stop playing due to loss of interest. But I'd still buy the game.

Ran around for a bit, experienced all that it had to offer in a very short amount of time. I picked this up for barely over 5 bucks but I would probably point to other freeform parkour games before this one. The bounce platforms hover just barely over the floor which makes them look misplaced and I'm not sure if this was just for me but the spawn was inside of a platform, which both made the entrance experience feel buggy. The actual gameplay is relaxed, but not nuanced. There's a number of mechanics: double jump, dash, grapple, wallrunning, railgrinding and bounce pads. They're fun to use for a bit but there's not a lot of room for experience. Aside from the double jump and the dash, you can only use these mechanics on specific surfaces, and the placement of these range from somewhat connected to entirely chaotic. The entire game feels like a messy playground with disconnected areas of separate mechanics that you're meant to try and connect yourself, though the effect is subdued be...

I've spent the last few minutes on the toilet puking my soul out. It's a great game but unfortunately I can't do anything against my motion sickness. Still recommended!

This is my kind of game! Chill Expressive movement (doing easy slow things versus harder faster things) IT JUST NEEDS MUSIC.

Only played the demo and a bit of the full game so far but really enjoying it. very relaxing gameplay. Edit: Having now played more of the game. I still really enjoy it. Perfect thing to boot up when you get off work or just vibing and don't want to use much brain power. I'm not sure if there is something I'm missing when I collect 200 orbs since it seems to just regenerate the stage.

awful UI, poor controller support, for infinitely generated open worlds, you just get a small play area, there's a good experience that can come from this if it had polish past alpha there was potential in the movement and there is enjoyment that can be taken from it when you get used to the movement, unfortunately that doesn't outweigh the many issues and bugs with this game

Its fun, I just played about half an hour before work and feel pretty calm going into my day, good fit for something that should be relaxing.

I'm very mixed on this game, but ultimately would recommend against it unless it's on sale. The experience is fun for a little while, but quickly reveals itself to be unfinished/unpolished. This isn't really a game, it's more of a tech demo and that's fine, but I can't help to think how much more this could have been. Even something as simple as being able to hold onto grapple points to be more traditional "Spider-Man" type swinging would add a lot more depth to the game. The art style seems to be inspired by Mirror's Edge with the limited colour palette and bright pathways for "parkour" routes, but compared to what's in the trailer the "world" in the game I experienced was even more limited. No satori gates. The sakura tree/meditation spot only spawns in the very middle of the world. No particle effects at the edges of red walls. If the game was polished to use the buildings seen in the Steam images or use floating lanterns as the grapple points, I think that would go a long way in ...

Fantastic background game for conversations, podcasts, music, etc. Movement is a tiny bit wonky but very fun and satisfying. Good vibes, recommend if you want sandbox movement.
