Our Story
We started this game back when we were in college, and (while it admittedly took us a bit longer to make this than it “should”) we’re really happy it to show the world. It all started as a loose collection of what we as a team liked: simple yet hard platforming, lasers, electronic music, puzzles with many layers, and the Quake 3’s map editor (ya, that’s a weird one…). From there, it went from student project to startup project to a way to stay connected.
So, thanks for stopping by, and we hope you enjoy our odd, little game <3

Good deal of fun for an indie platformer. The difficulty slowly ramps up and the extra challenge of collecting the circuits is what makes it even MORE difficult. Physics take getting used to as well as things like moving platforms that don't allow the player to stand at rest on them as they'll skate beneath you if standing still. Its these little things that may not be intentional but add to the difficulty.
Feedback:
I'd like to see what levels I've collected the circuits on. My experience of collecting them all for world 1 meant I had to reload multiple levels and try to remember if I had gotten them as there was no way to check progress. Even when I knew I got them all the achievement didn't pop and I had to load a level and complete it (without grabbing the circuit again) in order for the achievement to register.
Checking leaderboards: I'd love to see the leaderboards outside of end of level splash screen, possibly the HUB or somewhere else. Unless there is a way and I missed it.

This game scratches a lot of the same itches that Super Meat Boy does.
It's a wall jumping platformer set in video-game styled, self-contained levels. The physics are interesting and pretty tight, so chances are if you miss a jump you did something wrong. You can wall jump off anything that feels like a wall, including ceilings and floors, so there's a fair number of options to navigate each level.
Playing through the game casually should offer a decent challenge, but it REALLY gets interesting when you start trying to top the time leaderboards. Each level is tracked individually, and there are some tricky routes through each one. Additionally, some of the collectables are downright devious.
If you're into speedrunning, or like perfecting platforming, this game should be super interesting for you to lean into. If you get motion sick or hate fast-paced jumping gameplay, maybe give it a pass.
Ultimately, I feel like this was worth the price of admission, and I plan to finish up the last few achievements.

Loved playing this game. Tight platforming. Difficulty ramps up nicely.
Obviously a labour of love for these indie devs. Ten stars.

fun, vibey, vintage-feeling music and graphics. simple at first but increasingly challenging. seems like it would be awesome with VR!

More than worth the money, one of the most fun precision platformers out there.
The controls are tight and the levels are a blast to play through. There are a few hiccups here and there but nothing that seriously detracts from the overall experience.
10/10

Teknedia is for the realest of gamers.
Most fun I've had with a game in a long time, you can pick it up for the first time and then the competitive fuel of seeing the leaderboard after every level drives ya to keep trying to beat your time
