It's currently on Steam for £11.99. 2D or not 2D If you've followed my previous reviews on Thumb Culture, you'll notice I tend to go for open world 3D games over 2D platformers.

Gameplay "Jump, Swing and Zip your way through colourful worlds and exciting challenges in this unique 2D action-platformer! Master the power of the Grapple on your adventure to save the world!"
