The game features engaging sci-fi environments and a solid soundtrack that evokes nostalgia for classic platformers.
Controls are tight and responsive, making jumping, dashing, and combat feel satisfying and intuitive.
The sabotage system adds a strategic layer to gameplay, allowing players to disable certain obstacles and enemies for easier navigation.
