Overview: Run fast. Land perfectly. Continue running fast.

I saw a preview of this game and it looked fun. I definitely had to try it.
Setup: Keyboard and mouse.
Steam Game Time: 23 minutes
First Impressions:
Unfortunately, while the game looked fun, and the first few minutes were amazing, I am not keen on this style of game. It's just too chaotic and fast-paced for me. In a way, it channels a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog vibes. And while I don't remember much of Sonic Adventure, I would venture to guess that the pacing would have felt similar except that with Sonic Adventure you're allowed to stop and smell the roses whereas here you're constantly racing against the map. Additionally, I recall Sonic Adventure not having too many choices in regards to path, whereas directionally this game feels more open. This game does have currency to pick up which would suggest a possible best path, but I think it would take a lot of practice and experience to take the best path.
As an aside, after playing, I had a bit of a headache. Sometimes games like this with a lot of movement in third-person or first-person view will cause this. And the headache would be worst after having caffeine. I think I last had caffeine over 6 hours ago.
Overall, I'd say this game is definitely not for me.
Demo Rating: 1.8 out of 5
