How it feels

A fast, tight, and challenging 16-bit run-and-gun platformer with a silly sci-fi villain and a focus on precise movement and speedrunning.

What players say

Players compare JankBrain favorably to the Epic Dumpster Bear series and praise its smooth controls, though some find wall jumps tricky. The game's music and a boost meter fueled by vitamins are frequently highlighted.
