About the Game

Grot is a fast-paced precision platformer with randomized levels. Leap in and out of your mine cart hat to survive deadly, ever-changing caves. Steal powerful gems, make it out alive and push deeper into a mysterious loop in search of a treasure that may break it.

One core platforming mechanic with depth: the mine cart hat

Use it in clever ways to traverse difficult traps, defeat monsters, steal gems and discover hidden secrets.

Death is inevitable, but each one is quick and a lesson learnt

Every level is short with unique challenges to keep it interesting and replayable.

Features

  • Precision platforming built around a single, versatile mechanic: the mine cart hat.

  • Short randomized levels from 200+ hardcore hand-crafted rooms.

  • Traps and monsters interact with each other in surprising ways for emergent gameplay.

  • Unlock character customizations and campfire upgrades as you progress.

  • Plenty of rewarding secrets to find ranging from subtle to devious.

  • Optional challenges for only the most dedicated and curious players.

Rest by the fire, then venture once again into the caves... what may they bring this time?
