❤ Challenging Precision Platforming

The gameplay is widely regarded as challenging, drawing comparisons to other acclaimed precision platformers like "Celeste" and "Super Meat Boy".

❤ Rewarding Mastery

Despite the game's challenging nature, players express a sense of satisfaction and reward from mastering the platforming mechanics. Reviewers mention that with "great mastery of your character, you will be able to find new paths, shortcuts and secrets!" This allows skilled players to push for faster times and compete on the in-game leaderboards.

❤ Varied Level Design and Mechanics

Across the 250+ handcrafted levels, the game introduces a diverse array of new gameplay elements and mechanics in the different environments, ranging from saws and wind to cannons and rotating platforms. This variety keeps the platforming fresh and engaging throughout the player's progression.

❤ Speedrunning and Replay Features

The game's focus on speedrunning and competitive elements is praised by several reviewers. Features like leaderboards, replay systems, and the ability to race against "ghosts" of your friends' best times are highlighted as excellent additions that extend the game's replayability and encourage players to continuously improve their skills.
