About the Game

FEATURES

SIMPLE MECHANICS

It only takes one button to create and throw rocks. But you can also do the usual platform movement with a jump, double jump, and dash. While the rock throwing also gives you a boost and refills your double jump.

COLLECT POWER-UPS

Collect firelights and gain power-ups like spikes, triple rocks, or shotguns. Combine the power-ups to change the balance of the playing field.

MASTER YOUR BENDING MOVEMENT

Once the game clicks with you, moving through the levels and taking your shots becomes intuitive.
