Caveats:
-
The game is buggy and glitches. A LOT! And the devs will not (be able to) fix it.
-
The game is short. I have no idea how you can spend 45 minutes in a playthrough as stated on the store page. Realistically it will take you around 30 for your first run with failing a lot of jumps and not knowing where to go. Subsequent runs should scratch on the speed run goal time of 15 minutes.
-
You can get Mirror’s Edge and its sequel on sale for the full price of this game. (At least in Euro.)
That being said, I still recommend it. The developers were pretty upfront about the state of the game, its shortcomings and their lack of support. It’s a student project by graduates. Would have been nice if they released it for free, sure, but the price is cheap enough to forgive the lack of polish and content, especially on sale.

This game has a lot of pros and cons, but I still recommend at least on sale. But even at full price, it’s cheap, and has replay value, especially when the cons get addressed.
Pros:
-
FANTASTIC visuals and art design!
-
Fun gameplay design, that allows opportunities to mix things up if you want to.
-
Many routes, for high replay value, and to challenge yourself with the fastest shortcuts.
Cons:
-
MANY moments of bugs with clipping, getting stuck, and inputs not working very well.
-
VERY abrupt and unclear ending, though it was expected for a student project with a time limit.
