This is a great platforming game! Very well polished. The main gimmick isn't about completing most levels, but replaying them with a speedrunning mindset. It's somewhat like Trackmania games, where you re-play the same level several times to get quicker times, until you reach the rank you desire. B-rank is easy, A-rank requires some effort, S-rank is achievable but requires more precision. If you don't care about speedrunning, you can probably complete all the levels (with a low rank) in one or two hours. What else do we get? Beautiful pixel-art graphics. Well polished and-crafted level layouts. Excellent in-game controls. This game reminds me of Super Meat Boy. It controls well. Each level is short. Each retry is very quick (if you either get hurt or press the button to restart the level). But this game is much shorter, much cuter, and much more accessible. Frankly, the amount of accessibility options is amazing! - Several checkpoints on each level. (Checkpoints can be disabled when speedrunning.) - Press-and-hold to jump higher, or an option to always jump the highest possible. - A second jump button that always jumps the lowest possible. - Options to change the wall-jump m…

What an amazing game for free! And even for the price of 5 USD it was a great deal! I personally love the pixel art, but even ignoring that, as a platformer it's a lot of fun. Nice (quite basic) mechanics, satisfying platforming. Quite quick and easy to "beat", but quite difficult to 100% complete.

I'm not really a speedrunner so getting the speedrun achievements isn't my style, but i loved getting all the S-ranks. Really awesome platformer, so glad it's free or else i might've never played it.

A short game with a good amount of replayability. Many of the levels are cleverly designed, though a few leave something to be desired. My biggest gripe is that the screen can get quite busy at times, making the player character difficult to follow. All-in-all, I'll likely be grinding for the remaining achievements soon.
