Public service announcement: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ON STEAM DECK OR ANY OTHER HANDHELD. It is fundamentally not designed for portable play. Not only does a small screen make it difficult to find the next destination sometimes, but using a controller makes the game exponentially more difficult due to the control scheme being designed around mouse aiming. It took me way too many hours of frustration before I figured this out.

Otherwise, this is a very fun, heartwarming parkour adventure!

This was one of my first games I owned on Steam, and I’ve finally completed it! It has been 8 years since I started it and even in that time, I think it has aged a bit on the graphics side. But the gameplay is still very solid, a bit tricky in some levels but very doable in a bunch of hours! The story is rather simple but it’s nice to have something connect the set pieces together. All in all, I enjoyed my time with this game. I can definitely recommend it, especially if it is on sale!

Achievements
A total of 15 Achievements with most involving some form of challenging way to beat a level, either a time trial, without falling, or using less than a certain amount of grapples. Some of these are very challenging, especially the time trial ones. There are, however, lots of videos out there for the optimal route to take etc. Plus enabling the console doesn’t disable achievements, should you ever get stuck on something.. Not the easiest game to 100% but very much doable!

This game is an outstanding and very relaxing indie game that is beautifully designed and very entertaining. It only took me about 4.5 hrs to complete, but it was worth every cent. Highly recommend.

it was alright, but it shows it's age i think

Wish the story and characters were about 30% better written, but the environments look great and the gameplay was mostly fun. There are a couple sections that don't feel as well designed or as fair as they could have been, mainly because it's hard to tell when an object is within grappling range, but overall I had a good time with it.

swinging endlessly I mean what else could you want
