The verdict
A cheap, short 2D gravity-gun puzzle platformer with a clever mechanic and good music, but flash-game visuals, clunky controls and a brutal hard mode. Skip it if you want polish or precise controls.
Great for
Platformer fans who like challenge, physics tinkering and bargain-bin prices
Main risk
Clunky, unreliable controls and physics make later levels frustrating, and the game looks and feels dated.

Clunky, unreliable controls
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews
“the controls are wonky and don't feel right. Your character doesn't follow your cursor very quickly, and double-jumping robs you of all forward momentum for some reason.”

Inconsistent physics and gravity wells
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 negative reviews
“the main mechanics don't work right. Sometimes the wells pull you in/push you away as they're supposed to, sometimes nothing happens.”
