Press Quotes
“I would highly recommend this game to any fan of Portal, Braid, or Mega Man as well as platformer/puzzle fans.” 9/10 – The Geeks FTW “The unique blend of gravity puzzles, old school platforming, and devilishly difficult let-me-try-that-just-one-more-time gameplay it offers that make it a worthy investment for five of your gaming dollars.” 4/5 – Evil Avatar
