This is a speed running parkour game, your goal is to get to the exit as quickly as possible. Visuals: The overall aesthetic of the game is really nice, with several different themes for the levels. lights are a slight issue though, as they tend to be a bit overly bright. Controls: You can run, fire your bow, double jump, dash, and slide. You basically never have to slide except in the tutorial. Which is kind of annoying. Why implement that feature if you never have to use it at all. The dash is decent enough, and fairly self explanatory, a quick burst of movement. but it's direction is based on what direction you're moving at the time, so if you're being pushed in a certain direction, no matter how much you try to change direction to the opposite side, you won't be dashing the direction you want to go. One other issue, is that if you dash into an object at an angle, rather than cease your momentum, it slides you along the surface which can really mess up your run. Jumping in this game is also kind of floaty, and not in a good way, you can be pushed around incredibly easily. In addition, there is also a small mechanic where you slightly jump if you hit the edge of a platform. The dev claims its to prevent frustration, but honestly, the margin of error you need to actually get use out of said jump is so small it's practically negligible. The bow is a generic bow, but I hate using it. It has a descending flight path as is standard with bows, but the targets are so small that i can't stand it. it's mainly a skill issue on my part really. Environment: the jumps in the game are fairly simple to start, jump from object to object, and get slightly more difficult as time goes on, as parkour games tend to go, but if i could change one thing about the platforms, it would be to replace one platform with a different kind. The mentioned platform is a spinning platform that has 4 big holes in it. it's a square frame with a cross in the center that you can walk on. I don't like it. I fall through, and it's already spinning, so a slightly off jump just ruins the run. just fill the holes, and it's fine. Enemies: there are 4 types of enemies, turrets, lasers, chasers, and cannons. you can shoot all of these with your bow to take them out except for the cannon. The turrets and lasers are small spheres that are hard to hit, the chasers are larger orbs, and the cannon is always up high and out of reach. Turrets fire shots at you, and chasers do the same thing while pursuing you. Lasers have a set path that they follow, and fire lasers either constantly or intermittently. Cannons fire explosive shot at you as if they're artillery. if these shots land near you, they can push you around slightly, which can be somewhat helpful. All in all while the game looks nice, unless you feel like devoting your time into learning the physics and levels perfectly, don't expect too much from this game. Buy it when it's on sale.

Honestly, even with new graphics and assets it feels like downgrade from dev's previous game Exertus. Movement isn't so fast and kinda dumbed down, game feels more boring overall and also shorter in content.

It's simple, it's fun, it's awesome!
