COMMENTS: This is great fun! It's simply a "run forever, avoid obstacles and don't fall down holes" 2D platformer. What brings it above many games of this type is the randomly generated level design... which mostly works well, but very occasionally generated levels become virtually impossible. The graphic stylisation of the game is impressive, with monochrome, fuzzy, graphics. The main character, although he's merely an outline, is very well animated. I enjoyed this a LOT.

Fantastic Game

I have played games similar to this in the past but i have not enjoyed any of them as much as this one.

The introduction is great and grabs you from the start. I was instantly amazed by the detail in the background on the menu and the ability to check the controls before starting play was great.

When checking the controls it was good to see a bit of a back story for the main character.

Loved the sound effects and the music. I played the game at least 10 times before writing this review.

My only criticism is that it is very difficult to slow your player down after pressing the dash key.

Parkour isn't brand new anymore, but games about it still are. This execution is good because it doesn't stop. The atmosphere was spot on, great graphics, great gameplay, great solidity of the engine. It was just on that verge between, "this is hard, I've gotta practice" and "This is impossible, it's too random", which is what kept me playing.
