Bugged, when you complete if you land on something below the slow falling fails.
Horrible UI. 5/6 of the controls have to be manually unlocked at the basecamp. I can't get around the goats. I can't figure out how to use the Helping Hand. I continually get booted after running out of grip energy. Can't say it was very fun. Quite the opposite. And of course, no directions provided. Anywhere. I wish I had something constructive to offer the community. Until I can find some sort of instruction manual I won't be doing this again. Too bad, because it had potential
