Steam review snapshots
from the music to the visuals, atmosphere and gameplay – it's all beautiful.And then I hit an emotional roadblock.For a precision platformer, your movement options are limited to ledge grabbing, falling faster, and altering your jump height and distance.Game is decently balanced, showing you the basic ropes before leaving you on your own to explore and beat the later levels.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
