How it feels

A fast-paced, punishing platformer where every run is a tense scramble through a new, deadly labyrinth.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly compare Meganoid to Spelunky, but many find it a weaker clone with a gimmicky hacking system that just applies random effects. The difficulty is high and some call it frustrating, with no character classes or progression. Others enjoy the challenge and consider it a short, fun platformer. A few note pop-ups asking for an email and that OrangePixel's games feel like reskins.
