How it feels

A relaxing, methodical puzzle-platformer where you carefully navigate tile-based levels at your own pace, piecing together lost memories.

What players say

Players describe Vylan as a turn-based tile puzzle game, not a platformer, despite the tags. The movement requires planning each step and there is no real gravity. Many note input buffering problems that cause missed jumps under tight timers. The last few levels feel repetitive to some, while others enjoy the gradual difficulty curve.
