NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER...

I created Aquillanto to recapture the feeling I had when I played 2D platformer games in the eighties and nineties. Aquillanto is like a classic 8-bit or 16-bit platform game... on steroids... and in HD! Inspired by my love of the Amiga500 days. I really hope you enjoy it.
