About the Game

Independent 2D platform game that pays tribute to the classics of the 90s, while bringing humor, a modern and personal touch. This game combines familiar traps and enemies with new ideas like climbing a drainpipe to run across rooftops as if doing "parkour", to offer an original experience.

Estimated time to complete the game: 2h30 - 5h00 for a first playthrough (Normal mode)

Multiple difficulty levels for great replayability.

The heroine stands out with certain animations inspired by real movements created using rotoscoping (running, jumping, climbing from the drainpipe to the roof), offering great fluidity. The animation work on the heroine alone took 3 months of work.

The game offers very varied levels, ranging from exteriors (chic neighborhoods, neighborhoods with dilapidated buildings) to interiors (metro, catacombs, sewers), including nocturnal, snowy or aerial atmospheres. Humorous nods are present to a well-known series: I show the Paris of chic neighborhoods, but then I also show the less glamorous Paris with trash cans, dilapidated buildings with broken windows, dog poop on the sidewalk, the sewers. For those who know the series and Paris, there are humorous moments.
