Gameplay
The game is a speed running focused first person shooter where the player has to complete the level as fast as possible in order to progress. There is no action, but “micro levels” that are contained in larger areas. If the character is hit by a bullet, falls down, or is touched by an enemy, they will die instantly and the player must remember the level structure to win.
The player's weapon has no crosshairs and the bullets move slowly, forcing the player to control their shots. Players can earn up to three stars based on how quickly they complete a level, with the third star requiring perfect accuracy.
Certain objects also force the player forward, e.g. B. Apples that have to be shot from the sky, otherwise they will kill the player when they hit the ground.
