I played the demo for hours and am super excited to play the release! If you like platformers, speed-running, and are generally speaking a masochistic gamer, I highly recommend this game.

This game makes me want to throw away my computer, but I don't, cause then I can't get on the leaderboard. Also, this runs perfectly on Steam Deck.

Super fun and agonizing platformer. The names and crimes are funny and I especially love the leaderboards because it makes me want to play until I get on them. I highly recommend and it is always great to support indie developers.
