What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the platformer's solid difficulty balance and enjoy the gameplay mechanics once they understand them, though the double jump mechanic has a learning curve. Common requests include a restart hotkey and more frequent save points, as some find the boss difficulty spikes frustrating without mid-game checkpoints.

Recommended Jul 21, 2024

Decent platformer, good balance in terms of difficulty. Took some time to understand how double jump works though. I would add a hotkey to restart game and a save maybe each 5 levels at least? I'm stuck beating first boss aka "The Red Big Slime"
