How it feels

A fast-paced retro platformer where you fight through colorful, medieval fantasy worlds using a javelin both as a weapon and a tool.

What players say

Players describe a short, linear 2D platformer built around throwing javelins for combat and creating platforms. The pixel art and soundtrack are often praised, but controls are a common sticking point: they cannot be rebound, feel stiff or janky to some, and have inconsistent sound mixing.
