✦ AI summary
Players consistently praise the art design, music, and fluid gameplay with multiple solution paths, though the steep price point is criticized. The major complaint across reviews is that controls feel janky and frustrating, particularly on keyboard—most recommend using a controller instead. While some appreciate the challenging level design and competitive leaderboard system, others feel the generic cyberpunk aesthetic and repetitive level design lack variety, making the experience feel samey despite the game's low sale price making it a bargain.
I REALLY LOVE THE ART DESIGN. Music is simple but very good at the same time, level design is okay. Gameplay is very fluid and fun, there are many ways to complete a level and I like it. PC controls are bad, I recommend playing on controller. Game having multiplayer is just very good, an extra that is very appreciated. I got this game for less than a dollar, it feels like stealing!!! Pls give this game a chance.2 found this helpful

Either this is too hard, the controls are meh, game design is bad or maybe I have skill issue. I think you should either rebind keys or use controller. Don't think it's worth the full price.
This game giving you a rush almost every time you clear a level because you would often get a few seconds short of finishing it. But then you're immediately hit with a leaderboard to see that other players actually spent like 8-15 seconds on a level. Amazing exprience.
it's an ok platformer. i think its fun and i like the teleporting knife mechanic, however theres like a lot i dislike here. i do like the art but the cyberpunk vibe is way too generic for me. i think most cyberpunk games/movies/media is so blended together in the "bright neon city with japanese lady hologram dancing and big skyscraper and floating cars" and it just screams generic to me. but i do think the art is vibrant, colorful, and fun to look at. the levels blend together like the art style. it doesnt help that each stage barely introduces anything new. you basically deal with each enemy through every stage. there maybe one or two new mechanics per two stages completed, but it still feels like theres more to be desired. i wish there were more enemy types, puzzle mechanics, etc. the lever one felt kind of cool but could be a bit more polished. movement is pretty fun but can be janky. if you are going in the opposite direction, if you move your joystick a little too fast sometimes, your character will spin back around and it can get you killed and stuck a lot of the time. i remember get pretty irritated with it. i will say for the most part it feels really smooth and fa…
