Enso

Slingshot your way to the top of a beautiful minimalist landscape. A deceptively tricky platformer where a single slip could lead to a long fall back down!

About the Game

Embark on a journey of mastery in Enso, a captivating precision platformer that will require a perfect balance of skill and serenity in order to overcome the parkour challenges that await you.

Slingshot Enso up the terrain, and discover new movement techniques as you progress. (Mouse and Keyboard is recommended, but if you want an extra little challenge, gamepad is also supported!)

Falling is an essential part of this game, however, so is picking yourself back up and trying again. I believe in you!

Enjoy:

  • Challenging physics platforming.

  • Launching, bouncing, sticking, and spinning your way to the top.

  • A minimalistic Japanese inspired art style.

  • Great music that adapts to your gameplay.

  • Smooth and precise mouse controls.

  • Falling back down and getting to start all over again!

Note from the developer:

Thanks for checking out my game! I'm Eddy, the solo creator of Enso. I've been enjoying watching the Foddian and rage type games grow in popularity, and wished to contribute to that game genre.

Even though Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy was a direct inspiration for Enso, and I have much respect and admiration for that game, I on the other hand do not wish to hurt you... too much ;)

A little word on "Ensō":

It is the Japanese creative practice of using ink to paint a circle in one fluid stroke, and is part of Zen Buddhism. Just like the challenge in my game, the ensō is its own merit and its own reward.
