Editor takes
“A 3-day jam winner that proves scope discipline — five minutes, one click mechanic, and a crystal-clear idea executed with enough polish to beat 74 other entries.”
“With only five minutes and one left-click mechanic, the replay value lives entirely in the music, so once you've cleared the songs there's little reason to come back for another run.”
“The pickaxe-on-crystal feedback sounds satisfying and the beat-mapped timing feels tight, but the difficulty curve is so short and gentle that speedrunners will exhaust it in a single sitting.”
“The rules are immediately legible — click to match the bounce — but the mechanic is so simple that the only 'aha' is realizing the music does the teaching for you.”
How to play
Left-click to time your bounces. The game is built around the jam's limitation of having to time clicks, and each of its short songs ramps up in speed and intensity.
Tips
- Listen to the beat — the music is designed to guide your timing.
- Start with the first song to get a feel for the rhythm before the faster tracks.
