The verdict
A free, polished I Wanna Be The Guy-style level maker with a deep editor, a good campaign and a huge community library. Skip it if you dislike punishing precision platformers or stiff jump physics.
Great for
Precision-platformer fans who like building and sharing levels, and IWBTG or Geometry Dash players wanting a free hub
Main risk
Stiff controls, no coyote time and very hard levels frustrate newcomers, starting with the tutorial.
