Its premise is intentionally straightforward, evoking the structure of older arcade-style games where the primary objective is simply to move forward, survive obstacles, and reach the end of each stage.

Did not like it. Controls seemed wonky, and I got stuck on things a lot. Didn't play it very long before I gave up. Seemed really sub-par though.
