It’s as good as Chiny’s other games which means I love it. Nice minimalist, one-button platformer. I just got the notice that it came out so it may still be rolling out in other regions. I’m on the east coast US if that helps anyone. chinykian Well-Known Member Sep 1, 2016 78 7 8 Indie Game Dev Singapore #3 chinykian, Nov 23, 2021 As always, thank you for your support! <3 Anotherkellydown Moderator Staff Member Patreon Bronze Feb 10, 2014 4,581 1,134 113 Male CAD Technician I Upstate NY https://youtube.com/channel/UCcvu9xhE7xT-mZrXUZQJr5g #4 Anotherkellydown, Nov 23, 2021 You’re one of my favorite indie devs. I love Serious Scramblers too. My “Beta Data” got saved and transferred so that was cool. I was still on 9-something but just got to 32/50 on level 10. This is such a well-made twitchy platformer. Perfect for mobile. chinykian likes this. chinykian Well-Known Member Sep 1, 2016 78 7 8 Indie Game Dev Singapore #5 chinykian, Nov 23, 2021 Thanks so much mate!

Wall jumping is also a base mechanic here, and again your weight as you slide down the wall and spring off of it again just feels perfect." This SOOO much! chinykian likes this. Gotters Well-Known Member Oct 27, 2016 114 31 28 #9 Gotters, Nov 27, 2021 I had totally ignored this on the games this week list and only the game of the week made me take a look Glad I did, its brilliant, not a looker but the controls are nailed and that is everything in something like this. Brilliant little game and went for the IAP after the first world as knew it was quality. chinykian likes this.
