About the Game

In Throwing Hands, the evil King Wumble has taken over your kingdom. You must jump and dash your way to his castle if you want any hope of liberating your people. Navigate through stunning environments and intricate puzzles on your quest to punch powerful enemies and save your kingdom.



You play as Lester, a lovable little creature with two basic movement options:

  • JUMP: A staple of the platforming genre that brings player movement into the second dimension.
  • DASH: A midair burst of speed that allows you to defeat enemies and punch through obstacles.

Alone, these actions can get you pretty far. But skilled adventurers can put them together and get some serious speed.



Throwing Hands’s 101 main levels are rife with obstacles, power-ups, and special objects with unique properties. Use them to your advantage, but don’t get too careless…







You didn’t hear it from me, but there might be a few secret bonus levels as well. ;)

And if that’s still not enough for you, a robust level editor with Steam Workshop integration allows anyone to create and share their own levels and worlds.



Immerse yourself in a world brought to life through a brilliant combination of colorful pixel graphics and vivid vector art. The full features list includes:

  • A rich player movement system
  • 101+ levels across 11+ distinct worlds
  • Challenging platforming and intricate puzzles
  • Unique enemies and bosses
  • Several unlockable player characters
  • Zero microtransactions (of course)
  • A fantastic soundtrack featuring dozens of memorable pieces of music
  • The secret to immortality (results may vary)

What are you still waiting for? The world of Throwing Hands awaits!
