How it feels

A hardcore precision platformer with a fast, punishing pace where every jump and dodge matters under constant threat from traps and archers.

What players say

Players describe Sharp Trouble as a nostalgic platformer reminiscent of old Sega games, but they are split on its difficulty. Some find it fun for a few evenings, while others argue its hardcore challenge is undermined by poor design, such as unresponsive controls and cheap traps. Controllers are not explained in-game.
