The verdict
A free, quirky "massively singleplayer" platformer where a global queue shares one character in 60-second turns, with a warm community and an active dev. Skip it if you hate waiting or want to play on demand.
Great for
Social players who enjoy chatting, watching others, and cheering through tough platformer levels
Main risk
Waiting up to an hour in queue for just one minute of actual play
