  • The game is free and delivers what it promises as a simple 2D platformer.
  • The developer is responsive and actively fixes issues, providing good support.
  • Challenging puzzles with hidden interactions and a fitting art style and music create an enjoyable experience for fans of precision platformers.
  • Frequent crashes and a problematic save system that forces replaying entire levels on death.
  • Horrendous camera controls and invisible, frustrating mechanics like hidden pressure blocks harm gameplay.
  • Poor pixel art quality and uninspired graphics detract from the overall experience, with some bugs and inconsistent collision detection.

    The graphics receive mixed reviews, with some criticizing the simplistic, pixelated art style as unappealing or lacking effort, while others appreciate the unique art style despite its minimalism. Overall, the visuals are basic and monochromatic, which may not appeal to everyone but some players find an artistic charm in them.

    • “This features really godawful pixelcrap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
    • “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
    • “Has boring black and white and grey cube graphics for the whole game.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally soothing and fits the art style well, contributing to a thoughtful atmosphere. However, some players found the calm music less engaging and noted that certain sound effects, like the star collection noise, could be improved.

    • “The game has soothing music, and it makes you think.”
    • “I think that the art style is cool and the music fits well, although some of the sound effects, such as the collection noise for the stars, could be improved.”
    • “The calm music and precision platforming didn't mix well with me and I found it boring.”

  • gameplay

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for inconsistent mechanics, including an unclear and unintuitive requirement to stand on invisible spots, along with poor jumping controls and a lack of unique features.

    • “You already had a mechanic of pressing buttons, why did you switch it up in the middle of the game to a completely invisible, undetectable, and intangible spot you need to not only reach, but stand on for a while before anything happens?”
    • “Has horrible jumps and no unique mechanics.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is considered acceptable given that it is free, with users implying that long-term bugs or issues are not a significant concern.
