The gameplay is characterized by fun mechanics and a well-structured introduction, featuring step-by-step guides and an innovative help system. Players enjoy a generous amount of "coyote time" for lateral jumps, which is crucial for navigating challenging sections, while the level design effectively utilizes simple mechanics to create engaging puzzles that range from easy to complex, rewarding players for their problem-solving skills.
“Fun mechanics, introductory rules, step-by-step guides, and an innovative help system.”
“A great single-screen puzzle-platformer with some very good level design that gets a lot of mileage out of simple mechanics.”
“The character gets quite a lot of 'coyote time' (time in the air after stepping off platforms) for lateral jumps - this has to be kept in mind for hard and hell sections, which predictably require knowledgeable use of all the game's mechanics.”
“The puzzles range from very easy (to help you learn the mechanics) to some which might take several minutes to figure out (making you feel clever when you do).”
