Oct. 2024

Went into the game knowing as little as possible (only watched the trailer) and I'm glad I did, since the discovery aspect of this game is one of the most enjoyable ones I've ever experienced. What a neat way to innovate on the platformer genre itself too! I'd highly recommend this one to fans of Animal Well, The Witness and other similar games focused on exploration and rule discovery.

What a great little game! Made me feel like I was playing an olde indie game from the days of VVVVVV, Star Guard and Knytt. At its core is a simple and amusing mechanic but it's really cleverly explored with plenty of surprises. I'd say more but, come on, it's only four quid and a couple of hours long so give it a whirl if you fancy a break from the usual.

Very well designed game with a ridiculously fragile protagonist. Not very long, but doesn't waste your time either. I beat the entirety of the game in under 2 hours, and still consider it a bargain at full price. Fundamentally it's a puzzle platformer, but feels more like a metroidvania despite a complete lack of gear gating and combat. This creates what is the game's greatest strength, where it focuses on its minimal mechanics to maximize the fun and puzzles available in its design space. By the end, you're in awe at the planning that went into making this short and sweet masterpiece.

What a seemingly simple, but exceedingly clever, short platformer. It features a unique movement design in that your character jumps a preset two square height every time you press the button but (mostly) dies if they land/fall from that same exact distance or higher. The game scratches the same itch as Animal Well in how it signposts very little and lets you discover the nuances of its limited but nifty mechanics as you play. Had a blast with it and really enjoyed the minimalistic art style and music.

July 2024

Very novel concept. This is a game far more for puzzle lovers than for metroidvania lovers, but even still the world map is tightly designed. Worth experiencing for yourself.
