About the Game

A wandering miner named Axel takes on the mission of restoring the Sacred Gems that maintain the world's life energy, or else it will become a land of nothingness under Tourmaline's desire to see the world in ruins. Restore the Sacred Gems across 8 different areas while jumping, dashing, and mining your way through obstacles and enemies.

Along with your partner Bixie, you will meet various characters and help restore the Sacred Gems in each area, and ultimately destroy the Cursed Gem causing the world to be in danger. Use your trusty pickaxe or well timed jumps to defeat Tourmaline's henchmen and the negative creatures at his disposal.

  • 40 levels of platforming goodness.

  • Travel across 8 different areas and meet the inhabitants along the way.

  • Utilizing well timed jumps, slides, and dashes will allow you to access different paths and hidden secrets.

  • Unlock extra abilities and increase your maximum health and attack power by leveling up! To level up, you will need to defeat several enemies and collect gems to increase your experience points. After leveling up multiple times, your Attack Power will increase as well!

  • To gain even more experience points, perform Stylish Moves by pressing the jump button again after bouncing off an enemy. Try to reach the maximum level if you can!

  • There are numerous Character Cards scattered throughout the land, and they can give you small bonuses whether it's based on friends or foes. If you're a completionist, try collecting them all!
