• Reach impressive speeds and reveal hidden secrets by perfecting the star’s bouncing technique.
• Experience a soundtrack with fresh and classic compositions by David Wise, recorded live in Sweden.
• Go with the easier assisted mode for a relaxed playthrough or the “Gimmick!” mode for a genuine skill challenge.

REVIEWS
