great game, takes a bit to get the hang of it and getting a sub 1 min run is purely RNG. still it is an amazing game if you need a fast paced short gaming session

Overall/TLDR Very good, would recommend, priced nicely, nice small story/concept, precise movement, easy to learn hard to master, little to no glitches. Thought I'd write a review since I just got the record for endless mode, and can proudly say I'm first to hit 100 in endless mode (108). I very much enjoy the game, it's very good to kill a bit of time, although I usually find myself playing it for extended periods of time. It's one of the few games that I haven't gotten tired of and don't see myself getting tired of. Concept/Story Fairly simple concept, there are bits of story that you unlock as you get achievements, for those who enjoy plot. Price I would say it's well priced, since the content is limited compared to more expensive games. There's 3 game modes: Wraith (normal mode), True Wraith (hard mode), and Endless. Mechanics As someone mentioned, you can beat the game pretty fast. Beating it isn't that difficult as you learn to navigate with Up-Down-Left-Right, but getting a good run does require skill, consistency and luck. Speaking of which, personally one negative about the speedrunning aspect is that I see this game as easy to learn hard to master, but you don't really need to be a master to get a really good run. So it comes down a lot to luck, especially when speedrunning True Wraith. I would say consistency and attention to detail is the hardest part about this game. As for the people who were saying that the controls are weird/imprecise/bad, it's definitely something you get used to. I would argue that with the given controls you can move very very precisely, as you can often graze obstacles with confidence because they either have your speed or go slower. Glitches I've found maybe 2 glitches total in my time of playing this game, and I wouldn't say any of them are experience ruining nor game breaking. Overall, you won't come across them often, very well made 👍. Improvements 1. I really wish you could skip the end screen. When speedrunning I keep track of the time and if I see it's not a record I just die before the last attack because it's literally faster to restart the game rather than wait for the end screen to finish. 2. Would love for there to be an option to hide the counter in endless mode. Only reason I was able to get the record is because I kept gaslighting myself into believing I wasn't that high up and forced myself to not look at my score, otherwise I choke (choked at 49 hits 3 times before I hit 50 hits). 3. Also for endless, it would be cool if we still saw the time that it took to get a specific run, so people could compete for consistency by checking fastest to get 50 or something along those lines.

Pretty fun, very difficult. Wish there was a separate key for the attack on the wraith, sometimes the dash doesn't trigger properly. Also sometimes the respawn invincibility is too short and you can't prevent dying. Overall though it's a fun game, I like to play it while I listen to podcasts until I get too frustrated and rage quit.
