An odd little precision-platformer. Quirky in all respects, from the difficult ways of managing jump height, to the square aspect ratio that prevents you from reading too far ahead, to the synth music that sounds like it was written by a worm. I mean that last bit positively — the dinky, minimalist music is probably my favorite part of the package. It all feels very off-kilter in a way that will charm some and anger others. I land somewhere in the middle. It's not my favorite kind of precision platformer, but I appreciate what it's doing. This is somebody else's favorite small indie game, probably. Definitely a lot of speedrunning potential, if you're into that sort of thing. And there are a lot of settings to help you make the game more comfortable, such as removing screenshake and showing obstacle trajectories, which is always a plus.
