Mastering the environment is essential to surviving this intense platformer scenario. Success requires a blend of patience and sudden bursts of aggressive action. The movement system allows for a surprising amount of tactical expression. It manages to feel familiar while presenting its own specific set of mechanical hurdles. There is a satisfying rhythm that develops once you understand the basic rules.

Tips
