A small update with improved character portrait art, toggle-able color assist icons for trigger orbs and whirlwinds, cooler laser traps, and a few other odds and ends.

I just submitted an update that fixes a number of minor bugs. It also improves the game's colorblind accessibility substantially. Symbols now appear above the Styx whirlwinds and most of the elemental switch orbs, which I hope will eliminate some confusion, perhaps even among players without colorblindness. The other major piece of news is that the soundtrack for the game has been released. You can get it here! Between this and other recent updates, I think all the major bugs have been caught and addressed. (Knock on wood.) There are some minor ones left that shouldn't impact the play experience much. As such, there probably won't be another update for awhile. Thanks so much for playing! -Aevin

We've got a new trailer that highlights some of the game's features! Probably should have made this well before now, but better late than never, I suppose. Have a look here. I hope you enjoy it! [previewyoutube=yZXNa78aLdk;leftthumb][/previewyoutube]

A top-down adventure, Hitodama perfectly blends classic pixel art action with modern effects and design.

When Hito gets lost in the woods one dark night, two mischievous wisps spirit him away to the Labyrinth, a prison for lost souls from which no one has ever escaped. Now he must wander the Labyrinth's blocky corridors and fight countless monsters in order to confront his captors and find his way home.

Dodge, Maneuver, and Attack!

Maneuver precisely with crisp, responsive controls to get the drop on your enemies. Whether you're facing hectic enemy groups or fearsome bosses with bullet hell elements, you'll have to master movement and combat to survive.

Find Hidden Coins to Power Up

Some of the Labyrinth's walls are fake and hold secrets. Break blocks with wind blade to find power-ups and coins, which grant stat boosts, elemental shields, and more.

Wield Powerful Spells

Starting with the rapid-firing wind blade, you'll soon find other elemental spells with unique properties and attack patterns. Strategize and hit your foes' weaknesses to turn the odds in your favor.
