A nice little "momentum platformer" game with a simple yet effective story about coming back to your ship after accidentally falling through the garbage deposal. I could even tell that it's not unlike Wall-E in some aspects (exploring a decayed Earth as a simple robot). Comparing it with Sonic wouldn't do this game justice I think (even if momentum plays a central role and you even get a boost meter . Another thing I like is that the transition to levels is seamless in most of them, almost like one continuous adventure. Get it during sales because it's often for one buck or two.

This game was amazing, I thought to myself as I was about 50 minutes into playing it. I was thinking about all the future areas to explore and mess around in as I had only just begun playing the game. Only ten minutes later, I finished the game. Everything about this game I love... but its just way too short.

May 2024

If you like going blindingly fast and love the feeling of making a perfect landing after being airborne for 10 seconds, this game is great fun. If you're not a speedrunner, but still enjoy games like Need for Speed, this is worth it even without a sale.

April 2024

Really fun indie I never hear anyone talk about. Super fast based kind-of platformer with unique controls and really satisfying momentum. Takes about an hour to beat if you aren't going for collectibles
