“Incredible fast and satisfying gameplay.”
“In the current build of the game, I find some mechanics to be just a little slippery; the game currently makes you wall-run just a little bit too easily if you are in the air.”
“In its current state (2nd of December 2018), it is possible to start levels with slight advantages by walking around the map (exploration mechanic), then move some things around, and then start the level for a slight advantage.”
“But after playing a few maps at a recent gaming event and seeing already solid gameplay, I noticed a focus on making your own path, along with all the love developers are putting into the game and the community on Discord.”
