Happy Halloween, folks! We've got some seasonal bonuses and permanent additions to the game for you!

Seasonal spooky event

With some specials for Steam Scream Fest and beyond

The game is currently on sale by 20% off, the already heavily discounted (early access) price.
Check for a gift bag of Goodies at the top left of the Hub. We have a surprise there for you...:
We've been doing a bit of Hub redecorating to get into the spirit.
All XP you gain in-game increases by 12% during Halloween (and up to the 6th of November). You'll need it because:
Undead enemies rise more frequently during this season!

New Opponent: Jack O' Hoppers

Seasonal Slime substitute A specific species of slime use pumpkins as protective mobile homes and is even more territorial than their blue and purple cousins. They have a high chance of appearing during Halloween; when they see you, they will light up and can track you more accurately through the dark.

New Music

We have an overhauled theme for the Necromancer boss; check it out! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mO71uH5ydp1T1olcMiCJXcSZcxB4pYWV/view?usp=sharing

Other New Graphics

Added multiple vase variants to Mantle's Edge
Added a new randomized parallax layer to Mantle's Edge

Other Improvements/Bug Hunting

Certain enchanted enemies are more likely to appear during this season to...
Arrows fired from Skeletal/Ashen rangers are now stopped by vases, encouraging you to use environmental counters more.
Fixed bug where a blocked dagger throw; would also throw the player backward.
Possessed crates can now rise and attack from liquids t0o.
The skeletons that the Necromancer spawns are a bit weaker, taking into account the Celestial Catacomb's location within the progression.
Much more...

We hope this season serves up a treat!

Adversity as your ally

F.A.Q.

Let's be transparent...
"What Gamepads are compatible?”
Currently Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers though other Xinput controllers may work.
NOTE: Not natively compatible with Playstation controllers yet.

Keyboard and mouse works just as well.

Is there much of a story in game?
There's minimal story exposition as of the current build.
We do plan on integrating a loose narrative as development progresses though...

“I'm running the game on an old computer, how can I make it run faster?”
Please see the following forum thread on optimization:

“Where can I report bugs/issues/suggestions?”
Please look to the forums, we check messages there each day. Feedback is welcome and there are some excellent community members who are willing to help to.

"Anything else to be aware of?"

Default gamepad controls are slightly different from convention, due to optional 360 degree aiming with right analogue stick. Though buttons can be rebound to suit.
It’s designed to be challenging, and death may be encountered frequently during your initial runs. Though there is no stunlocking/one-hit demises.
Being able to multi-task between abilities will greatly increase survivability.
**The game has a steeper learning curve than the average platformer, particularly in the first 25 minutes

Every challenge has multiple solutions

For example, if there is a chest on the other side of a lava pit; do you...?

Grapple across
Bend time and bounce off enemies
Use a boomerang to fetch the item
Blow up the pit with a grenade; setting everything nearby alight!
...

More Features

Over 70 unique enemies and traps
9+ randomized level themes. Such include tidal corridors filled with mines, rising lava, caverns lined with toxic and carnivorous plants...
3+ Primary world types (grotto, gardens, temple, ...) each with their own traps, enemies, boss and special theme layouts.
A plethora of creative abilities ranging from parkour to cloaking to warping time itself!
Every object has multiple uses E.g. you can grab that lantern from the ceiling, and carry it around to use as a portable light source or improvised flaming molotov...
Hand crafted pixel art and animations by Jessica Turner and Lachlan Cartland
Regular updates
A unique musical score.
Customize character skin and clothing colors.
Permanent progression: allows you to unlock world shortcuts, new items, character backgrounds...
So much more...
