14 itemsAbout the Game
A retro platformer with optional minor puzzle elements, alternate routes, a few roaming boss fights, and a simple but powerful item-combining system.
Tools and combining
Tools are strewn across the levels, and can be activated to 'combine' them temporarily, or combined more permanently.
For example: with a pole, activate your spring as well to instantly have a pogo stick, then also activate a spike to have a pogo-drill that destroys terrain as you bounce.
Food
Food works in much the same way. For example: combine a leaf with meat for seasoned meats.
