What it is

Minimalist rhythm platformer. Players jump to a beat to navigate abstract levels. It feels energetic and melancholic.

The catch

Progress vanishes if you quit, since checkpoints only last for the current session.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 95% positive, but with 1,294 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
