Players Like...

❤ Tight, Responsive Controls

Players praise the game's controls as "effortless" and feeling "right from the first time you use it." The character, GR-18, controls with a great sense of momentum and friction, smoothly accelerating and allowing for precise jumps. Platforming mechanics enable advanced techniques like "floating" by strategically grabbing and throwing objects.

❤ Diverse Power-Ups

The game features a wide array of unique power-ups that add diversity to the platforming. These include a grappling hook for short-range grabs and wall jumps, as well as a jetpack and propellers. Players appreciate how these abilities go beyond standard Mario-style power-ups, introducing new possibilities for traversal and combat.

❤ Challenging Yet Rewarding

While the controls are precise, the game presents a challenge, with the campaign levels quickly ramping up in difficulty. Players note frequent death, but the instant respawns and abundant checkpoints prevent frustration. Instead, the challenge feels rewarding, testing players' precision and encouraging improvement.

❤ Compelling Speedrunning

Reviewers highlight the game's emphasis on speedrunning and leaderboards. Each level has a global leaderboard, allowing players to compete for the top spot. The seamless respawns and unlimited checkpoints are particularly well-suited for speedrunning, creating an addictive grind to shave off time and climb the rankings.

❤ Versatile Level Editor

The game's level editor earns praise for being both powerful and user-friendly. While it may have fewer elements than other "maker" style games, the editor's logic systems and customization options enable an incredible amount of creativity and complexity. Players can create everything from traditional platforming levels to elaborate contraptions and minigames.
