About

Jax is your teleporting cyborg corgi. A Cyborgi, if you will. Jax wants to play. To him, that means teleporting around the city while you chase after him! You'll have to use interesting movement mechanics (bunny-hopping, portals, bounce-pads and more!) to bring Jax home before dinner. Cyborgis still need their exercise - take Jax for a walk with the help of the Steam Workshop!

    The gameplay is described as fun and challenging, featuring intricate movement mechanics reminiscent of bhopping from the Source engine, along with engaging portal mechanics.

    • “Very fun and challenging game, love the mechanics, and the music is a nice vibe.”

    • “The portal mechanics work extremely well, and overall these aspects combined together to create a brand new experience!”
    • “It's early access, so I expect a decent amount of polish down the line in terms of visuals and juice, but it's got the movement mechanics down to a tee so far.”
    • “They explained the controls and objectives well enough, but the mechanics themselves are so intricate that it would take many hours of practice before you got to the point of being able to beat some of the other levels.”
    • “Going forward, I think it will be very successful among the niche crowd it's designed to target, but could become more popular among the more casual crowd with the addition of some (optional) helper mechanics and some lower difficulty levels to ease the learning curve.”
