About the Game

Become the destruction

Every time you jump you break the surface below. Everything you step on shudders. Bend volatile levels to your will. Grapple out of sticky situations. Manipulate the environment by hooking things towards you.

Improvise with bombastic consequences

Your giant chain-hook acts as both a method for quickly manoeuvring around and also a way to swiftly take out your opponents.

Explosive force

With your legendary skills, you are capable of using your explosive weight to jump over and explore large chambers, dash through projectiles and defeat lovable but powerful enemies. You didn't know you had such power, now you may as well use it.

You were never meant to be a hero

The Fool, a heavyset man from the Lands Above, falls through surface and enters the volatile Uderland. For hundreds of years, the Uder people have used the powers of the Io Spark to live underground, in hidden isolation from a world above ravaged by monsters and plague. But for some reason the Uder think he's a legendary saviour that prophets foretold. The time has come for the Fool to assume a role he'd never expected, the role of a messiah.
