That being said, the environments are quite pretty, the story is simple but endearing, and the world is interesting. But the main thing is the movement mechanics, and they are a lot of fun. You will have to replay certain sections several times, but the reload is immediate and the checkpoints are reasonable. I did get frustrated in a couple of spots where the level design seemed more about luck than skill. But when you nail it, the sensation of momentum is thrilling. It's not long and it's only frustrating in a couple of spots, so I definitely recommend it if you enjoy first-person platformers.

A nice little tale and interesting mechanics. However it is annoying when you fail to make a 'jump' for about the ten millionth time!!!
