How it feels

A linear pixel-art action platformer where you explore dungeons and fight monsters as a young ninja in a cute, old-school fantasy underworld.

What players say

Players say Mangavania is a short, simple platformer that takes about an hour to finish, not a true metroidvania. It has 20 levels with a speedrun focus and grade system, but the controls can feel unresponsive and some deaths come from cheap level design. Opinion is split on whether it is worth the price, with several calling it average or comparable to a free browser game.
