So uh, I'll be honest I'm not even one level in and I already cannot comprehend anything in this game. So to jump higher and/or move faster, I have to do the entirety of the following sequence: - Use Q to make sure I'm in block-extrusion mode rather than block-intrusion mode - Aim down at a hexagonal block nearby - Make sure I'm actually standing on it - Click it with RMB - While in mid-air, press Left Control to Hover (which takes me a fixed distance forward) - When Hover runs out, hold Space to uh, also hover but less efficiently I guess? This is four keys and multiple game mechanics for uhh, an equivalent of a simple rocket jump? Yeah I really don't see myself doing it for the entire duration of the game, man. The game tells you to launch enemies into the air before killing them - it's not hitting them mid-air that is the problem, it's that there's no bonus damage for it so they just uh, fall down before you kill them anyways? So I guess you need to soften them up first but there are no health bars on them so how do you accomplish that? I don't even~ Abilities I don't get either, I have an ability that costs fuel, extrudes multiple blocks at a time, and nets me fuel back. Or …

I like the game! The terrain-moving mechanics are cool, used to good effect (especially with most of the bosses), and while movement can be a bit slow and floaty, the game itself is quick-paced enough to make up for it. Though I do kind of wish that, by default, there was a sort of "medium speed" between the slow gliding when you hold jump, and the very quick falling when you don't. I didn't like the audio so much. It was probably the weakest link in my experience. It's an indie dev's first title, so I'm keeping that in mind as I write this, but from sound effects to voice acting, I felt like it took away from my experience a little more than it added. If you get past the movement speed and the audio, there's still a good time to be had. Hope others give this game another look, since steam reviews in the double-digits is a tragedy here!

I have a modern-potato rig, i.e., well-known game engines run optimised out-of-the box even it it's something AAA like "Ghostrunner" demo. Hence, I was fooled by this game's simplistic graphics (I thought that it would run amazingly at the very first time itself) and had to fiddle with the NVIDIA Control to finally have it at 60 FPS without any stutter at all. That out of the way: It's a good game. I got it dirt cheap (imagine 2 packets of chips) and the most apt description would be to say that it's quirky AND fun. So, if you could spare a week to binge this in a few sittings, the experience is well-worth it!

i dont even know how this got in my lobby but i enjoyed playing it in 2018 LOL

good got all achivements in under 10 hours
