❤ Revamped Gameplay with New Mechanics

The developers have revamped the core gameplay, introducing several new mechanics that expand upon the rhythm-based platforming. Players now wield the "Core Laser" and the "Void" abilities, which add an extra layer of strategy as they time these new moves alongside the musical beats.

❤ Unlockable Classic Levels

Alongside the brand new levels, the developers have included the entire original game as an unlockable bonus. You can earn tokens by completing the new campaign, which you can then use to access these retro stages, now updated with the visual enhancements and quality-of-life improvements.

❤ Community-Created Levels

The game also features a robust level editor, dubbed the "RUNNER MAKER". Reviewers highlight the depth and flexibility of the editor, noting that it provides ample tools for crafting challenging, rhythm-based stages. The community has already begun populating the game with a wide variety of user-generated content, from faithful recreations to entirely new, creatively designed levels.

❤ Difficulty Options and Accessibility

The level design retains the classic difficulty and timing-based challenges, but with a fresh, more accessible approach. Reviewers praise the inclusion of optional checkpoints, which allow both new players and veteran fans to tailor the experience to their skill level. You can toggle the density of obstacles and even enable "Stair Assist" to make the platforming less punishing.

❤ Smooth, Responsive Controls

Reviewers consistently praise the tight, responsive controls, with no noticeable input lag or issues. The ability to fully remap the controls is also appreciated, as it allows you to customize the setup to your liking, which is particularly important for the game's more demanding sequences.
