Gameplay
The gameplay is very face paced and intense as soon as you enter the game.
You're greeted with an up beat edm song on the main menu which instantly gets your blood pumping.
You start the game and are instantly absorbed up in a tunnel-like level, hurtling towards blocks on the walls and small gaps to squeeze through, you have no idea what you're doing because there is no tutorial, but it's quite clear that you need to grab small cubes in the tunnel whilst avoiding the barrage of blocks in your way.
This game has a very high skill level and is definitely not for the impatient as you will restart the level over, and over. As you progress through the levels (personally I've only got to level 3 out of 9) they get harder and harder, adding spinning blocks to dodge, slicing blades and a lot more crazy obstacles.

Graphics
The 3D graphics are fairly simple, which is a good thing as it makes things a lot less confusing and makes it easy to distinguish certain objects. Everything is very cubic in this game, making it easy to run at a high fps which is essential otherwise you won't be able to react quickly to beat the levels.
The starting animations and the menu is the most satisfying part of this game. It has a very simplistic flat design with very sleek and well designed animations.

Controls
The controls are very basic, with a fast paced arcade game, simple controls make things a lot easier. You navigate using the left and right arrow keys, the up arrow key flips the tunnel upside down. So as you see a cube coming up on the ceiling, the left and right keys are momentarily switched around, so right becomes left & vice versa.
You get used to these controls very quickly as level 1 isn't very demanding but the levels get more and more challenging as you progress.
