How it feels

A fast-paced, challenging platformer with minimalistic visuals and an electronic soundtrack, where you dodge, jump, and shoot to survive.

What players say

Players compare Sullen to a blend of Super Hexagon and a bullet-hell platformer. It is very challenging with a steep, step-like learning curve, offering 5 levels of 8 sections plus a boss each. Some note the upgrade from Gyruss's formula, and a few mention that the game's achievements seem non-functional.
