You play as a child stranded on a strange planet, exploring its locations and meeting unusual inhabitants while searching for a way home.

Platforming and environmental puzzles revolve around placing gravity beams that let you travel to otherwise unreachable platforms. You also use tools such as bombs and smoke to deal with obstacles, enemies, and security cameras.

The journey spans a series of stages with hazards, switches, keys, foes, and hidden collectibles. New tools add ways to approach obstacles as you progress, and the game also offers local co-op.

In these reviews, players often praise the game’s visual atmosphere and the distinctive gravity-beam mechanic, along with creative stages and a memorable soundtrack. Several also describe a substantial challenge: later sections can feel much more demanding, and some reviewers find the controls or hidden collectibles frustrating.
