Do you like short games with worse graphics made by university students in 5-6 months? Then boy do I have the game for you. It's a silly game, but otherwise quite solid. A nice platformer that encourages speed and tricks (though most levels are flexible enough.) Oh, and there's prop physics and some cool dev-like secrets too. Overall, a nice challenging experience. Just be prepared for the steep difficulty at the end. I'm personally glad this game exists. Hope the creators enjoyed making it and maybe even make more game stuff!

First: game is short. The time on my review is all that it took me to finish the game. That being said, it's only $5, and its clearly intended for people to complete as quickly as possible. People who love seeing how quickly they can complete something will love this game. Second: The second-to-last level is definitely massively difficult. This was in part due to me being bad and the game and also due to it being a semi-forced speed run level. It still only took me like 10-15 minutes to do, though. Third: Physics feel a little weird. By far the most jarring thing to me is the slow starting acceleration. With how fast you can get going, I feel like the initial acceleration could have been a little faster. There's also at least one secret in every level. One of the two I found actually brought you outside of the level's normal playspace and let you run around on top of it! Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game. If you're any good at speedrunning stuff, this would be a fun project for a day or two, I'd imagine. Box gun has some... interesting launches if you shoot the right spots. Anyways, have fun y'all! Edit: Came back the next day and gave it a go to get all the achievements. Managed to find them all over the course of whatever extra playtime I have on the game now compared to the .7 hours after I completed it the first time. Mostly just fun little things. I'd say it's probably worth the $5 asking price still. You get the 'true ending' for finding them all, as far as I can tell. It was nice that the levels were not so laboriously large that it was relatively easy to ferret out all the secrets. Definitely a good little game, especially now that I'm more used to the physics of it all.
