Speed through a gorgeous retrowave world using parkour skills and a grappling hook to scale and ride walls in this fast-paced, 3D platformer. Blast enemies, manipulate time and abuse physics to avoid falling to your death.
The core gameplay revolves around using a grappling hook to navigate vibrant, neon-themed 3D environments at blazing speeds. Players can latch onto designated grapple points (colored blue or purple) to slingshot themselves through the air, pulling off a variety of acrobatic maneuvers. The grappling hook provides a high degree of control and momentum-fueled movement, allowing you to swing, grapple, and seamlessly chain together actions to maintain and increase your speed.
In addition to the grappling hook, you can run, jump, and bunny hop to further build up and manage your momentum. Maintaining speed is crucial, as the levels are designed to challenge your parkour skills and ability to find the fastest routes. Levels offer multiple paths and shortcuts, rewarding exploration and the discovery of optimal traversal techniques.
Players are equipped with the ability to temporarily slow down time, which can be used tactically to line up grapple shots, react to obstacles, or recover from mistakes. Balancing the use of this time manipulation mechanic adds an extra layer of skill and decision-making to the gameplay.
The game's focus on speedrunning and replayability is a major draw. Each level has par times for earning one, two, or three stars, challenging you to continually refine your techniques and optimize your movements to achieve faster completion times. Worldwide leaderboards allow you to compare your performances and watch replays of the top runs. The inclusion of a level editor and workshop support further expands the content and replayability, as you can explore and compete on user-designed challenges in addition to the base game levels.
