This looks like some kind of lame 2D retro platformer, but it's hard to tell because the game install is broken, it simply doesn't launch. It looks like the developer has various game components in the wrong folders. Valve should probably pull this from the store. There's a few fake/paid reviews, too, which shouldn't come as a surprise, this looks like a bit of Russian shovelware.
$3 for a game that doesn't even launch? Impossible to recommend.

The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says "Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to."
Acknowledging their game is broken, instead of:
a) Informing us when it will be fixed
b) Removing it immediately from Steam and offering refunds where applicable
The developer has chosen option:
c) Leave it on Steam, keep any and all money scammed from gamers, offer a really lame excuse that apparently it's harder to make a game install properly from Steam than it is to make a game that anyone would ever want to buy or play, and then sets off advertising other presumably equally terrible and technically inept projects in other places.
Developer responses should really only be used to offer apologies to customers. Not to advertise even more broken crapware. This is like going to a restaurant, being served mouldy chicken, and when you complain, having the waiter ask if you want some more mouldy chicken. And keeping your money.
Literally thousands of publishers have managed to make games work properly on Steam. I don't know why Lethn can't manage this very basic technical accomplishment.
Regardless, my review still stands unchanged. Broken game, shady developer. Don't buy.
Edit: The developer has waded back in again, ignoring Valve's guidelines for developers once more.
The developer admits they didn't properly test the game, but launched it on Steam anyway. That explains this broken game, but it doesn't excuse it.
The developer claims this is their first time trying to make a game. If I went to a restaurant, ate bad food, and got told "Well the chef never cooked anything before", would that make it okay? No, it wouldn't. The developer supplied a very valid reason why this should never have been put up for sale on Steam in the first place. I don't know if that was their goal, but they succeeded.
The developer claims they didn't make a lot of money from this, that's no surprise, it didn't work at the time of the review. But they knew exactly what they were doing when they sold this to cheap bundle key pushers. No matter what trite excuses they offer, the facts are there, they tried to exact as much money as they could from this.
The developer then decides to tell a bold faced lie, that I had refunded this game. I haven't, it's filed away in my library with a bunch of tags to point out why it's trash, along with all the other shovelware I've reviewed. I got this from a game bundle. You can't get refunds from those. Is the developer going to lie about selling keys to game bundles next?
Regardless, game reviews aren't about developers, no matter how dishonest they are (and lying about me having gotten a refund is a kind of pointless thing to lie about, but here we are). Reviews are about games. This game probably won't work. It's extremely poor quality, developed by someone who openly admits they didn't bother with testing. I can't recommend this to gamers.
