Gameplay

The player controls either as the male character Gimble, or the female character Libby. The character is controlled by a virtual direction pad that can go either left or right, or by touching the screen towards where the character would move. The characters cannot jump, so players must make use of ladders and flying bugs to elevate. The player pushes coconuts and crates, pulls levers, and fires cannons and explosives in order to clear off obstacles such as opening/closing platforms, baskets, and rocks.[3] There are four modes in the game: Basic (beat the level), steps (beat the level under a certain number of steps), timed (beat the level quickly), and crystal (collectible crystals appear in the level, often requiring the player to access parts of the level they did not consider before).

Removal

The game was taken down on iOS stores by 2015, however for those who installed the game before removal, it remains either playable or downloadable through purchased retrieval.

The game received critical acclaim for its innovative gameplay, cylindrical structure, and art style, as well as its included level editor. However, some criticized its core gameplay that depended heavily on restarting levels, and the excessive difficulty in later stages.

The game was not a commercial success, with only 1,990 downloads on the App Store.

gollark: Your own game, with some DF-y mechanics.
