About the Game



The great guardian statue is attacked! Its spirit energy released and its protective powers broken, the ground shatters across the land: mountainous chunks of earth begin rising up into the atmosphere.

Traverse the sky in this open-air platformer featuring elegant, fluid movement and swift combat. Play as a mysterious assassin-like wielder of spirit energy to strike down enemies, restore the great guardian statue and return the land to the earth.



  • Fluid, open-air combat with a satisfying slash
  • Beautifully hand-crafted environments and animations
  • Fight sword-wielding Frogs, spell-casting Sorcerers, and earth-crushing Golems on your path to restoring the Great Guardian Statue
