looks like its a lot more about finding shortcuts than about perfecting your runs (low map count is indicative of long maps) assuming they get custom map support it could be pretty good, but not really sure of their niche as it is.

funny it reminds me of defrag

Do they really need to Early Access a game like this, and not just release it?

every indie game developer tries early acces nowadays it seems..

Seems like a p fun game that's relatively simple, potential with 'high skill' due to mappers/modders or whatever, but what else is there that warrants early access I wonder?

Just played it for like 15 minutes. The controls are pretty terrible, which is a shame because aside from that its quite fun. The music is also top notch. I suppose with it being so cheap its worth it, but don't expect something amazing.

looks lame compared to surfing

I wouldn't really call the controls terrible as much as the physics of the game are weird. You can't really think of yourself as a dude running - its more like a suspended blob that loses momentum really really fast. Except you can't hold down w either cuz you go too quick too fast. Given I've only played the game for about 20 minutes as well, but that's what it feels like.

Otherwise the environment is great. The music is very relaxing and the simplistic styling of the stages are soothing as well. Helps with not getting frustrated doing those runs over and over again. Also a good way to wind down.

edit: also meant to say that its kind of hard to get the feel of after tf2, cuz the strafing mechanics are so different.
