11 itemsAbout the Game
You play as the hapless rabbit Snowflake. You have 99 chances to escape The Pit.
Every time you die the Evil Snowflake grows stronger.
Claw your way back up 21 brutal levels across a variety of areas. "Enlist" the help of other unfortunate critters to aid in your escape. You will need to run, dodge and hide from your enemies to make it through. You are weak and ineffectual!
Don’t slip! The Pit runs through the entire game so if you fall you might find yourself at the very bottom again.
Features:
- Uniquely terrifying: Every element of the game is hand-drawn and hand-animated offering a visceral, grittiness to every Chance you may squander.
- Listen to despair: The soundtrack is painstakingly crafted for the game, with iconic melodies that will stick in head long after you've rage quit! It is also available for download.
- You can run but you can't hide: Players must use their tactics and stealth to evade peril throughout the levels of The Pit, from the molten magma core to the dizzying vacuum of space.
- A Bunny's Arsenal: Snowflake isn't alone. Collecting Power-ups and insane items along the way may be your only chance to survive. A Crabbie Claw is essential to survival after all.
- Optimised for survival: The game is fully compatible with the Gamepad, so there's no excuse when you suck at it!
- Tread the unbeaten path: There is a plethora of secret routes, items and unmentionables to discover, if you're 'ard enough.
- As if it wasn't tough enough: There are 20 Steam achievements for you to master... or not.
- Some like it ridiculously hard: The level design is rigorously balanced to provide a real challenge, in the spirit of games like Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey, Spelunky and Heart of Darkness.
