About the Game

She possesses incredible magic abilities, but to be honest, she's a bit of an airhead...

One day, she's out taking a stroll when she comes across a massive, dark pit. Tons of monsters dwell in its depths, and suddenly, the perfect idea hits her!

Why not trick an adventurer into falling into it and give the monsters a tasty lunch?

Luckily, she has the perfect item to accomplish this--the Cursed Arm Binder! All she has to do is chuck it on an unassuming adventurer and fling him down the--

"Huh...?"

In an instant, Lily falls for her own trap... The arm binder is on her now!

 As it blocks out all magic power, Lily can no longer fly, and she finds herself plummeting down into the abyss, completely defenseless...

Inspired by similar ultra-difficult platformers, your only objective in this game is to keep climbing!

However, there are tons of monsters around, and they'll do their best to get in your way...

Can you make it to the top?!

Beware! This platformer is not for the faint of heart... Our beta testers were pulling their hair out!

In fact, it took the developer two entire days to reach the top! It wouldn't be much of a monster-filled abyss if it was easy, now would it?

All 4 areas will be trying their very best to get you to give up! Hang in there!

(p.s. There may be cheats for those who don't like super difficult stuff...)
