(Warning: This game may be quite difficult. Play at your own risk!)

You’ve woken up in a strange place with the eerie feeling that you’ve been here before. Conquer the treacherous traps by running, jumping and using your power of pausing to get ahead. Just remember: once you pause, there is nothing you can do to change your path. Let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully not directly onto a spike.

A beautiful, wonderful and absolutely brutal platformer.

ah yes the funny game with the axolotl

this is the type of game to kick you in the balls and ask you to play again

Idk why i didn't rated this game. It's kind of short, but very interesting.

Fantastically brutal platformer with a tiny little guy, beautiful pixel art, godlike music, and a very challenging-to-master mechanic. Holy shit. This game tremendous.
