About the Game

CLASSIC ACTION, MODERN INTENSITY

Dive into an exhilarating Jump and Gun adventure. We've blended the nostalgia of classic platforming dynamics with the white-knuckle intensity of twin-stick shooting.

HOP, HOP, HOP

A Hop is a horizontal jump, akin to skipping a stone across water. Chain your jumps to maintain speed and dodge incoming fire.

TACTICAL ARSENAL

Discover a diverse range of firearms, each with distinct advantages and drawbacks.

  • Swap on the fly: Adapt to the situation instantly.

  • Experiment: Find unique weapon combinations to conquer difficult enemy types.

ARENA GATING

Every cavern is an arena. When you enter a new zone, the exits seal shut. You must clear the room of all hostiles to unlock the path forward. There is no running away—only fighting through.

EXPLORE & EVOLVE

Find helpful pick-ups to aid your journey. Utilise Portals to bank your items and backtrack to recover loot you left behind.
