The stuffed Wombat games don't disappoint. I liked this micro-game, because it managed to not overstay it's welcome by even a second. Gotta appreciate when games no matter how small pull that off

I bought the 10mg collection, which is a pack of 10 games that aim to last ten minutes. I've liked the others I've played but wasn't a big fan of this one, although I get what it was trying to do. Basically, this is a platformer where as you descend, your movement gets slower and you have to rely more on jumps.

I had two main issues with this - controls are arrow keys only, no wasd to move and space to jump, which I found really clunky since I don't normally play platformers.

Secondly, there's a sorta tilt/warp shader effect on the world, so the screen tilts a little bit as you move. I'm extremely prone to motion sickness and even though this was really short, I've ended up with a headache :(

Interesting downward platformer where the deeper you go the higher you can jump but horizontal movement is restricted. I like the warping effect as you descend as if everything is becoming unmoored. Would enjoy more story bits.
