Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this blend of platforming and incremental play, praising tight movement and optimisation, but many say the late game becomes a slow grind.

Many players enjoy the tight platforming and the satisfaction of shaving seconds off courses, which in turn raises the clone income that runs while they are away. Players like that the idle part rewards skill rather than waiting, and that the early courses and new movement techniques keep introducing fresh ideas. Many complaints concern the later half, which players describe as repetitive: repeated course runs, slow progression and a long grind for late upgrades. Some players object to the forced omni-directional dash that replaces double jump, and a few note unclear mechanics and controller issues. Recent reviews are more critical of the second half than the older helpful ones, and some reviewers say the developer quickly fixed early problems. Steam's totals are clearly positive, but the criticism of the late game is consistent.

Praised

  • Tight platforming

    Players find the movement responsive and precise, with advanced techniques that cut course times once discovered.

    Many players
  • Optimising course times

    Players enjoy repeating courses to shave off seconds, since faster runs raise the income of the clones working in the background.

    Many players
  • Idle play that rewards skill

    Players like that the incremental part can run in the background but also rewards active play with better times and extra income.

    Some players
  • Fresh blend of genres

    Reviewers describe the combination of a platformer and an incremental game as clever and unusual, with a steady sequence of new mechanics.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Repetitive late game

    Players say the second half turns into repeated course runs, slow progression and a tedious grind for upgrades.

    Many players
  • Forced omni-directional dash

    Players dislike the unlock that removes double jump in favour of an omni-directional dash, which they feel disrupts the pacing.

    Some players
  • Unclear mechanics

    Reviewers say key mechanics, such as moss areas and the recharging of abilities, are hard to understand without guidance.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy both precision platformers and incremental or idle games, and who like optimising runs, will find the most to like here.
Who should skip it
Players who want a mostly idle game or dislike repeating the same courses over and over should probably skip it, since the late game is grindy.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with short playtimes mostly praise the early courses and feel the grind has not started yet, while players past 20 hours more often complain about repetition and slow progression in the late game.
