Well maybe this is just me (or my pc) but I kida have the feeling there is a several milliseconds long delay between my input and the movement on the screen wich makes it kinda hard to play this reaction based game. Since none of the other reviews mentions this, it may be come from my, not state of the day, pc (actually it's a laptop) and you may be just fine with it, but since the graphics do look very simplistic I somehow expected it to run fluently. Also there is no options menue (after startup you can start the game with space and exit it anytime by holding ESC), or at least I havent found it, so I couldn't test it with lowerd graphics. Beside that ist a funny little jump and run game with some clever ideas and a very good soundtrack. Normaly I'd give it a 4 Stars Rating(1 Star lowerd because of the short playtime), but due to my technical problems (again: that seem to affect no one else! So you're probably fine.) I have to lower it for another star.

In a world of graphically stunning but not really that fun games, this game is the opposite with minimal graphics but exceptional game play. As others mention it is fairly short (exactly how short depends on how good you are at platformers - some of us take a little longer than others :/).

As far as I can tell, the premise of this game is unique, and the minimalist graphics do not detract from it in any way. I actually enjoyed that part. What I did not enjoy was the perfect timing it requires, leading to more frustration than fun. If you're off by 1/10th of a second (probably less), then you die. You don't get moved back very far, so it's not like you're replaying the same 5 or 10 minutes all the time, but constantly dying because you're 1/10th of a second too slow is endlessly frustrating. What pushed me over the edge was the "boss" section of level 3. Your character is in the middle of the screen and needs to shoot the target which is pointed towards it. There are up to four targets (one from each direction), and the "shot" is fired automatically at pre-determined intervals. Your job is simply to aim your character at the correct target. However, your aim automatically rotates just before shooting, alternating rotation by 90 degrees and 180 degrees, so you need to compensate by aiming in a different direction (so that the aim is correct after rotating). That takes some getting used to, but I was fine with that. What I was not fine with, and could not get past, is the third part of that section. In that part, in addition to your aim automatically rotating, the position of the targets randomly rotate, ending their rotation immediately before you shoot, making it virtually impossible to aim accurately. I really wanted to like this game, and if the timing was a little more forgiving, then I would. But a game in which you constantly die because you don't have perfect timing is not enjoyable, it's frustrating. Some people may say this game is simply challenging, but there's a big difference between challenging and virtually impossible, and this game is virtually impossible for anyone who doesn't have perfect timing.

Audio masterpiece

this is very awesome and simplest one
