This game struck the right flavor of mystery, challenge and ambience for me. The overall plot felt fairly contained, yet rich with questions and points of interest. It never felt like anything I did was just "busy work;" and as I progressed, things got increasingly interesting and ominous. The atmosphere was dark and minimalistic, leaving my imagination to fill in the blanks. The game was also so immersive that quitting it was almost jarring. The interface was clean, intuitive and I quickly learned the limits of what I could do.

Overall a well made demo that left me wanting the full version!

I normally don't play speedrun games, but I had a positive experience with this one.

After playing cavalierly, I came to understand two core mechanics that make the game fun: The perfect jump which builds your overall speed and jump length, and the golden path which gets you the best time...if you can find it. These simple mechanics make for a rich gameplay experience. There is something here for both hard core speed runners who run for perfection, and casual players who are satisfied with finishing a challenging course. Other things I like include the aesthetics, the lighting, instantly restarting after falling, and the competitive leaderboards.

That said, there are a few opportunities for improvement in the game's current Early Access state (at the time of writing this review): The tutorial needs to better explain the perfect jump mechanics and the existence of a golden path, there should be messaging when a platform or obstacle is about to sink or dissolve, checkpoints should be visible, and there were a few places along the course where I wasn't sure where the course continued (or wished I could see further ahead to plan my moves). Also need mouse and arrow key support in the main menu.

Overall a fun game you can pick up and play, and I hope the developers will add many new courses over time to keep people coming back for more!
