This game is fun, but as soon as you beat the first world, the difficulty level ramps up disproportionately. Right at level 21 when you gain the dash ability the game becomes less fun, and more of a chore since the jump, dash, jump combo is so difficult to perfect. I threw in the towel. But I leave a thumbs up because many of you are probably better gamers than I am.

Enjoyed my time with this precision platformer. There are checkpoints with unlimited respawns in the normal game mode (the reason I never finished Hatup, from the same dev, where you have to restart a level after five attempts, even if checkpoints are reached). About 105 diamonds are spread over the 60 levels, so you don't need to collect all of them to receive the "100 gems" achievement. You'll die often, but besides 3-4 very hard levels, I very able to move through it without rage quitting. Pleasing pixel art, smooth, precise controls.

Very fun game. Short and sweet. The game features 60 levels, that all take place in 1 screen worth of space. In the beginning they start off extremely easy, but gradually ramp up in difficulty, with a few later ones being a real challenge. The game has 2 modes - Normal and Hard. To my understanding the only difference is that the normal difficulty stages have check points in the levels and hard stages do not. I played the entire game on hard and had a blast. The controls are very simple. You have your directional keys, a jump and a dash. The dash can also be directed in 8 directions using the directional keys (since dashing diagonally is needed sometimes I would recommend the use of a controller). Now to some downsides: - The game is rather short (if you are really good, each level can be done in under a minute) - There is no way to check or remap the controls in the settings - The inputs can get a bit messed up from time to time (mainly saw when dashing horizontally my character would sometimes dash in a downwards diagonal direction) - I does not happen very often, but it will cost you some attempts But overall a great game for the price, and just a fun 2D platformer.
