The designer describes it as “a digital poem/game/net artwork hybrid of sorts” and “a strange bit of craziness in the shape of a retro-platformer.” I’d call it “Likely to exacerbate a headache and fun, if very odd – and that rolling ball of … something is oddly endearing.” Not exactly the world’s most difficult game, I was still interested enough in the weird hand-drawn art and pseudo-religious texts popping up to keep playing for a while. To say that it is diverging a bit from most online flash games is something of an understatement.
