The verdict
A tough, addictive Super Meat Boy-style speedrun puzzle platformer with tight levels and instant restarts. Skip it if you dislike time pressure or can't tolerate its long-unfixed leaderboard crash.
Great for
Speedrun and Super Meat Boy fans who enjoy replaying short levels to shave off hundredths of a second
Main risk
The unpatched leaderboard error crashes the game, and the demanding precision can be frustrating or stressful.
