Unique and fun gameplay with challenging but rewarding platforming mechanics.
Atmosphere is immersive with appealing environment, music, colors, and a sense of urgency.
Satisfying progression as later stages flow well together and provide a good challenge.

Lack of key remapping options limits control customization.
Respawn times after dying are too long, disrupting game flow.
Movement mechanics such as wallrun sweet spots feel inconsistent and could benefit from polish; pacing can be punishing and unforgiving.
