You are Garlic, an onion-headed boy and you want to climb the Sacred Tower to meet the Cyber Goddess to seduce her...
Players praise the "rock solid" and "tight" feel of the controls, with the ability to jump and dash in 8 directions providing a high degree of control and flexibility in traversing the levels. The dash move, in particular, stands out as a core part of the satisfying movement.
The game's intense challenge often draws comparisons to difficult titles like Celeste and Super Meat Boy, but reviewers consistently note that the difficulty feels fair and well-designed. Levels are filled with precise jumps, deadly traps, and patterns that require mastery, yet generous checkpoints and the ability to recover from damage (rather than instant death) prevent the difficulty from feeling unfairly punishing.
Beyond the basic jump and dash, the game offers opportunities for players to expand their repertoire of movement options. Reviewers praise the ability to perform "dash combos" by chaining dashes together as adding depth and skill expression to the platforming, with some also highlighting the "super dash" maneuver as a technique that skilled players can leverage to skip certain challenges.
While the core platforming is challenging, each zone introduces new hazards, enemy types, and environmental gimmicks that force players to adapt their strategies. This level of diversity is seen as a strength that prevents the gameplay from feeling repetitive, even during lengthy play sessions.
Many players express a strong sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when overcoming the game's formidable challenges. The combination of tight controls, fair difficulty, and meaningful progression through increasingly complex levels creates a rewarding gameplay loop. Reviewers frequently describe the feeling of finally conquering a particularly brutal section or boss as deeply gratifying.
