The controls are smooth and precise (highly recommend using a gamepad), and the difficulty curve feels just right—failures always feel fair, and you can feel yourself improving with each attempt.

6 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack leans toward moody, electronic compositions that complement the industrial aesthetic and heighten tension during demanding platforming sequences.
