And when you die — and you will — the game has something to say about it. Personally. — One thumb. Instantly playable, brutally hard to master. — 10 worlds to unlock by distance, from the Meadow to the Moon, Mars and beyond. — Living backgrounds: butterflies, passing rockets, drifting comets and underwater creatures. — Four shapes.
