It's the day for free games, I guess. The Number will be quite happy.

The game's sub-title is "Hardcore Platformer", which
probably tells you all you need to know about it. Its
primary gimmick is difficulty, but it seems to have gone
a bit overboard on that, if the reviews are anything to
go by. It doesn't actually take that much skill to make
a game really hard. The talent is in making it hard but
something you still want to keep playing. Apparently,
the developers of this game don't have talent. Myself,
a game whose primary gimmick is 'git gud, scrub' is not
anything I'm interested in playing anyway (I'm more for
narrative and setting) but one that doesn't even do
that well? I'll pass. But knock yourself out if you enjoy
banging your head against brick walls. ;-)
You got until Tuesday to claim this one for free... but odds are you
won't need that long to decide.
