✦ AI summary

Players praise this precision platformer for its unique movement mechanics, fluid controls once mastered, and excellent speedrunning potential, calling it a hidden gem. However, the game has a significant accessibility problem: the fixed control scheme and demanding wavedashing mechanic cause physical strain and hand cramps for many players, with some experiencing lasting injury, and the lack of control customization options or accessibility features to ease this burden is a major frustration for the community.

Game might be good but the lack of control customization (forcing WASD or a controller) for a precision platformer makes no sense. Can't get invested.

So I'll start by saying: this game is really neat. I love the concept behind it, and when the game works it works brilliantly. The problem with the game is that it seriously hurts your hands. I want to finish this game and recommend it, but I get such horrible hand cramps from playing it that I just can't. Note that my controller is an 8Bitdo SN30Pro+ and wavedashing with this game's control scheme doesn't feel viable. I wish there was an accessibility option to add an "easy wavedash" option. Just a button you can hold that automatically wavedashes. You can kinda recreate this with Steam Input but an official method would be great.

Very fun and unique 2d platformer mostly built around speedrunning. Can take a little to get used to the movement but it feels very fluid and enjoyable when you do.

One of the best precision platformers I've played, a real hidden gem. Gave me chronic forearm strain that's still there 3 years later.

Criminally underrated, excellent speedrunning platformer.

For someone who vehemently hates Melee and wavedashing I rather enjoyed this game and got everything in it
