Players Like...

❤ Precise and Responsive Controls

Players consistently praise the game's tight and responsive controls, which allow for careful timing of jumps and movements through the challenging levels. Reviewers describe the controls as "spot on," providing a high level of control over the character's actions.

❤ Seamless Switching Between Platforming and Autorunning

The game features two distinct gameplay styles - traditional platforming as the character Miles, and an "autorunner" mode as the dog character Kilo. In Miles' levels, players have full control over the character's movements, navigating through levels with precision. Conversely, Kilo's levels automatically run the character forward, requiring players to time their jumps and attacks to progress. Reviewers note that the game encourages players to seamlessly switch between these two styles, providing variety and keeping the gameplay fresh. The levels are carefully designed to work well in both the controlled platforming and autorunning modes.

❤ Challenging Yet Fair Difficulty Curve

One of the standout aspects of the gameplay is the challenging yet fair difficulty. Players describe the game as quite demanding, requiring a high level of precision to overcome the obstacles and complete the levels. However, they also emphasize that the difficulty feels fair, with deaths being the result of the player's own mistakes rather than unfair design. Reviewers praise the game's ability to gradually increase the challenge, starting more accessible and then progressively becoming more demanding. This allows players to improve their skills over time and master the game's mechanics.

❤ Rewarding Progression and Replayability

A major highlight of the gameplay is the sense of progression and accomplishment. Each level can be completed with varying degrees of success, from a basic clear to earning an S-rank by meeting specific time, collectible, and other requirements. Reviewers highlight how pursuing these high rankings provides a strong motivator to continue replaying and improving at the game. Perfecting the levels and optimizing runs to earn the best scores creates an addictive and rewarding gameplay loop. The inclusion of a "Time Attack" mode further extends this replayability, giving players the opportunity to challenge their personal bests and compete for faster clear times.
