This is a game that is pretty familiar to Showdown but with a few differences to it. The first is that it is unfinished due to being canceled by the maker, and the second is because of the first the game lacks a lot of the variation Showdown had.
A lot of the early game felt pretty bland and uninteresting, mostly making it feel like a needle game for a bit. Some of it is also pretty uncomfortable to play, such as a pushblock you need to move over minispikes, or a conveyor screen with a very awkward ending. The game does however pick up eventually with some neat gimmicks, one involves pressing C to swap between Black and White tiles (think of the Shift stage from various games). Another operates like an idle clicker game, and yet another screen is a maze. These segments are when the game shines the brightest. The game concludes on a boss with two phases, the first is perfectly reasonable and fun but I found the second to be way harder due to even less movement room.
Overall, it's not really a game I would recommend, but it does have some neat aspects that give it potential should the maker ever decide to come back to it.
