    I would've guessed it was a PICO-8 game, but guess not! It looks
    charming enough, and also seems like the kind of game that would
    normally be a few bucks, considering the soundtrack is only $2. Might go
    check it out...

    Pixel graphic parkour!!! AHHHHH!!!!! <runs screaming>

    Yeah, I had something of a similar reaction. It's probably a good
    enough game, but mechanically and visually its got nothing I'm
    interested in.

    Some of those screenshots are particularly bad. I can't tell what's
    supposed to be foreground obstacle and background. Probably in-game
    it's easier to tell, but as screenshots they do nothing to entice me
    to play.

    I already fed The Number with that other freebie rms tossed our way. I
    think I'll pass on this one.
