Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive but short: players like the quick, quirky grappling parkour for a free game, while others find it thin, dated-looking and worsened by later updates.

Many players enjoy the fast, grapple-based movement and the swinging, which feels good once the timing clicks, and they value that the game is free and quick to finish. Several mention the difficulty rising across the colour-coded level series and the relaxed loop that suits a short session. Some say the game is small, with too few levels, and that completing everything takes little time. Complaints focus on the look, which many see as minimal low-poly and dated, and on swinging physics that players say changed with later updates, so earlier skills feel worse. A few report bugs in specific levels and achievements that were reset. Recent reviews are more divided than the older helpful ones, with several negative reviews about the removed multiplayer, the new movement and the lack of content.

Criticised

  • Dated, minimal visuals

    Many players
  • Physics changed by updates

    Players say swinging physics changed in later updates, making earlier skill feel worse or requiring relearning.

    Some players
  • Too little content

    Some players
Who it suits
