About the Game

Need something quick?

Tired of spending a full hour beating a single run? Just want to get a quick boost of dopamine?
You have found the remedy, beat a run with haste, never lasting longer than you have patience for.

Simon says: Don't hold forward

The clockwork robot does not stop, neither does your shooting. Forget the hard work in horizontal movement and focus on the vertical.
Surf through the platforms and place yourself in the most likely position to destroy your enemies. Ride the motion and navigate through tight spots without losing a sliver of health.

Become the Bullet Hell

Collect parts from your defeated enemies to become even stronger, level up to become an unstoppable throng of projectiles.

Master the Pattern

Lap the same level up to 6 times and gather enough steam to fill your hot air balloon. Each time you finish one lap you make your companion happier and with the release of steam gain superior powers.
