Really quality high-score adventure game.

fun fact, this was made by the developer of Alone in the Dark... absolutely wild.

Normally score chasing games aren't for me, but this is certainly one of the better ones. I love the diegetic UI and the transition between the menu and playing. The 3D perspective is really well-done and there are multiple control options. At first, I prefered D-pad and A/B button controls, and thought they were a bit clunky. After trying tilt controls, I found it way more fun (as long as you have good lighting). This is probably best implementation of tilt controls on Playdate.

There's not a lot of content: the game is simply a high score runner and an online leaderboard. But those two elements are so well-done that this is a must-buy if you like these kinds of games. Personally, I think the pace of the game is a bit too slow, and it takes a while to ramp up. I may play occasionally and do a run here and there, but its not something I will return to often.
