May 2025
I remember playing this 10+ years ago and loving it. After a re-visit, I can confidently say this is a pretty fun, albeit old, small budget, and a little janky experience that'll last you about 4-5 hours for a full playthrough. I really liked the parkour/physics elements of this game and the little movement gimmicks do well to spice up the gameplay loop long enough to make those 5 hours fun. Even with all it's flaws, this game has a certain charm to it. Like yeah the characters look hysterically awful, the story is extremely short, some of the navigation is confusing and the traversal is a little buggy, but all of that kind of comes with the 2015 low budget indie package. It's part of the experience and for something of this scale, i think this certainly delivers and that's why i recommend it. Just not for 30 CAD. Get it on a big sale. 7.5/10
