About the Game

Olbers Paradox is a high energy side scrolling action game focused on speed, light, and destruction.

Hidden throughout each map are power ups that can turn the tide of battle. Between levels, you can upgrade your abilities, allowing you to customize your play style and push deeper into increasingly dangerous encounters.

Each stage ends with a boss fight designed to test your reflexes and mastery of your upgrades. Learn enemy patterns and react quickly.
