This game is not for the faint of heart. You were warned.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed the concept, but it drove me insane not only because of the chunky controls, but because it would frame lag and get me killed, regardless of my ability to react to something. Also, as a head sup, before the first set me free jump at the lava, it is possible to repeatedly cause a triple jump bug, which made me think that was what I had to do, because it's possible to clear that gap without doing what you're supposed to. You may wanna remove that bug, because it made for a very frustrating 30 minutes of trying to replicate a triple jump across a lava field.

Really great game! My biggest gripe was that the 'move right' button was too far left. The left and right buttons were too close together, so I had to reposition my hands in a somewhat uncomfortable way. Even then, often when I tried to press the left button, the right button would be triggered instead. I really wish there were secrets/Easter eggs for going off the beaten path, platforming to hard-to-reach places, or for getting to the end of a level while avoiding the obvious switch.

To be fair it isn't bad. The controls are abysmal but the concept is interesting. Unfortunately it takes cues from better games out there and doesn't do anything remarkable with its formula nor original. The soundtrack is great and the art style is as well. Better controls and more originality could have gone a long way. Hopefully the sequel builds upon this and makes the platforming less of a random mess and also introduces more unique horror elements.
