About the Game

SAVE THE PLANET. FIND YOUR FISH.

What begins as a frantic search for a lost friend soon spirals into a high-stakes battle for the future of the planet. In this epic 2D platforming adventure, you step into the boots of Knut: a determined, one-eyed rodent-thing on a mission to retrieve his beloved fish. The path home is blocked by a bizarre, ever-growing army of robotized enemies and enraged creatures that have pushed the world to the brink of collapse.

16-BIT SOUL. NUCLEAR GRUDGE.

A love letter to the golden age of 2D platforming. Navigate a massive, secret-filled world map and master tight, twitchy physics. It’s the classic "overworld" adventure reimagined as a frantic fight against a fish who really wants her partner back.

GEAR UP FOR A PET-STORE PAYBACK.

To find his fish, Knut has to survive a mechanical onslaught by unlocking essential, high-velocity upgrades:

  • GROUND POUND: Squash any enemy with a high-impact power slam.

  • THE RAM DASH: Shatter defenses and smash through any enemy.

  • THE ROCKET PACK: Rule the sky. Jump beyond infinity.

  • THE LASER GUN: Metal or flesh, nothing stands in its way.

MASSIVE BOSSES. TOTAL DRAMA.

Battle through four hand-drawn worlds, from the suffocating shadows of deep-earth caverns to sprawling desert landscapes under siege. Face off against screen-filling bosses built for one purpose: Making Knut pay.

They didn't count on a one-eyed, brain-exposed rodent-thing with a helmet and determination. It’s the deadliest mistake they'll ever make.

NOTHING STANDS BETWEEN A RODENT AND HIS FISH!
