Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“In essence this game consists of complex jumps with little margin for errors, often with a countdown timer alongside it. Personally I don't like time trials based games, they're just too torturous. Otherwise this is a simple but well made…”
“Was a promising title, but far too short. The full game only includes 'episode 1,' and the developer doesn't plan to finish the story. The level/campaign editor is incredibly difficult to learn and the developer offers no guides or help…”
