About the Game

Sky shards float above ruined Japan... and only Polpo, a jet-powered mech, can jump high enough to reach them.

Forza Polpo is a vertical first-person platform shooter set after the collapse. Leap from shattered rooftops, glide across broken bridges, skim silent beaches, and soar past dormant nuclear plants... then blast bizarre enemies before your energy runs out. Inspired by the cult classic Jumping Flash! it distills pure ’90s arcade energy into a fresh, fast experience.

Why play now

• Pure vertical action... first-person jumps up to 300 ft and long glides

• Energy economy... every jump and shot drains the same meter, choose or fall

• Two modes... Simulation for resource crunch, Arcade for unlimited fun

• Speedrun-ready... tight levels, perfect on Steam Deck

• Vibrant PS1-style visuals... bright low-poly arenas and a banging ’90s soundtrack

Somewhere above the clouds a secret waits. Face the void... grab Forza Polpo and jump.

Be cautious, Polpo! Your mission awaits.
