One-key action game! The OP was beautiful, and the palette changes were so beautiful.
And what's more, I especially liked the super huge scrolling background during the stage. The no-damage clear -> tower stage after reaching the normal end once was very challenging and fun.
The severe control and puzzle feel that only one-key controls can provide was very fun and exciting!
This was a very great piece of work, meow~! 🦊
Honestly, incredible game. The tower level at the end took forever, but I kinda liked the dedication it required. It felt like solving a puzzle, trying to figure out who to reach higher and higher. And the music made me stay there. I'm excited to look at more of your games!
Lovely game. Fitting plesant music, mostly beautiful backgrounds (the secret tower level could use some extra decorations - windows, torches paintings maybe?) and easy to learn controls.
I do also like there being a different ending for those that like a bit of challenge in going through the "secret" level.
The tower was also nice that it had a different gameplay feeling than the other levels (from my perspective ofcourse) in that it felt more of a puzzle game than platformer, having to carefully plan when and when not to jump, which platforms to avoid as a basically death traps etc. Took me a few hours before I managed to beat it (partly some of it was my fault like forgetting to not jump in a section where jumping basically puts you into losing position).
Still, I pesonally enjoyed it and wish you luck in your future projects.
Thank you for the nice comment, and for enduring the final level! This was first game of our tiny studio from 2 years ago (made in a couple months as first test project). Since then we’ve learned a lot and would now do some things differently (like placing several checkpoints on the secret level), but I decided to leave everything untouched as a depiction of our skills and decisions at the time 😅
Also I’m happy people still enjoy this game and even appreciate the flip of main level design towards the puzzle aspect :)
Thanks again for playing, and I can suggest you try some of our more recent games!
I love the fox, such a cutie potato :3
Very interesting concept and beautiful graphics!
Didn't finish the castle, though. I don't have an hour to spend on a single game level. But I saw a comment saying they spent 3 hours to finish that one level, so maybe there's a public for that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I would still advise adding a few save points in this level so the players don't get bored doing 100X the same platforms.
The rest of the game is really nice! The backgrounds are beautiful and always changing, there's a lot of imagination in the way the platforms are placed so we have to adapt our strategy. There's a lot we can do with just one button 👍
I hate when magic dude does that to me.
Such beautiful visuals! Caught my eye, and after playing, I can say very well done. Lovely game with a cute story and incredible art.
This game not is good for my hearth 💖
i wanted to download this on my mac but apparently it says the system is not updated :(((( what do i dooo
jesus christ the tower part was hard. Took me 3 hours. :'D
But love the music tho, had fun with this game! And the visuals were amazing as well, I loved it especially when the bg changed during the first part!
i beated it in one try
I liked the way the platformer game can be played with only one button.

GG!!!
Did you do all of the art for this game? it looks phenomenal!
Glad to hear you liked it! Art was made by me and my friends, 4 people in total (one person for most of the sprites, one for background, one for title screen and one for story frames)
A wonderfully cohesive style considering how many different people worked on it, good job ^-^
nice game! I have beat this 1 att with all 3 hearts left and go left at the end, is there anything at the right? I dont wanna recomplete this...
Thank you! Yes, there is a secret final level there, which turns the level design upside down… You can try for yourself, or if you are not feeling like it there is a full walkthrough in the next comment thread.
It’s worth trying for yourself though, if you are up to a super hard, but interesting challenge!
you should be able to start over from the level you died on.
Yeah, now I’d probably do this differently.
The reason for such decision at the time was an idea of a special check at the top that decides if you can go to the final secret level inside tower. You can try for yourself, or just take a look at this walkthrough to see what I mean.
Very nice! It reminds me of Icy Tower.
Glad you liked it!
I made this game in 2 month, as I wanted it to be just a simple experiment with old-school gameplay and graphics. So I guess that I achieved :)
I like it =)) Cool game!
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful game!
Thanks, happy to hear that!
i really enjoy the visuals and music! + the gameplay while simple is quite fun.
Thank you for playing my game!
Amazing visuals
Thanks, much appreciated!
