Steam reviews
What players say
Players overwhelmingly recommend this silly, fan-focused platformer, mainly for its Jerma references, humour and bat-deflection combat, though it is short and often called undercooked.
Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as a fun, short action platformer with tight controls, where deflecting enemy projectiles back with a bat is the core mechanic. Many players praise the humour: real footage of the streamer as sprites, voice clips, in-jokes and goofy enemies such as robot raptors. Some point to the extra challenge options, multiple endings, a hard mode and achievements, including a no-damage run, as reasons to replay it. The main complaints are that the game is short, that its level design and content feel thin, and that some players find it undercooked. A few reviewers say the boss could have been more memorable. Many reviews are jokes or incoherent and add little to the picture. Recent reviews are more mixed, with several noting the brevity and simple design rather than earlier enthusiasm.
Praised

Some players
Criticised

Some players - Undercooked and simple
Reviewers find the design thin and unpolished, with simple levels and a shallow experience.
Some players - Boss could be stronger
Players feel the final boss could have been more memorable or better designed.

- Who it suits
- Suits fans of the streamer Jerma985 and players who want a short, silly, low-stakes platformer with easy-to-learn combat.
- Who should skip it
