This first-person platformer transforms childhood imagination into an exhilarating navigation challenge. Players leap, climb, swing, and surf across intricate environments, never touching the ground. Four distinct movement abilities—Double Jump, Slide Jump, Boost Jump, and Vault Jump—create a nuanced skill progression that rewards mastery.

❤ Momentum and Technique

Drawing inspiration from Counter-Strike's bunny hopping, the game demands players chain movements with surgical precision. Expert players can accelerate to incredible speeds by perfectly timing camera strafes and jump sequences. Each character offers a unique movement profile, requiring players to learn subtle control variations.
