My first PICO-8 game ! It's a tiny "metroidvania" platformer where you play as a cube. You gain more and more abilities as you progress.

There are multiple environments, some collectables and you can find a boss fight at the end.

The controls are :
Z/X/C/V - Jump
Left/Right - Move
Down - ???

If you run into a bug please report it so I can try and fix it. Feedback is also appreciated :)

I hope you enjoy the game !

NOTE : The downloadable builds are based on version 1.1, while the online version is the newer version 1.2, which fixes some collision issues.

THIS was the worst room, why was it so difficult for meeeee

really nice game tough

got 5 medals and 199 deaths on hard mode, I spent a long time looking for the spot to break with the down dash lol

it was fun! I wanted more. There were a couple pretty insane platforming spots but I got 5/5 medals on normal :)

over hard difficulty

but nice challenging game

565 deaths, 4 medals, with help in the lava area. I'm bad at video games, but it was a blast!

116 deaths and 5 medals on EASY. this was very difficult, but intriguing enough to continue. i wish there was a bit more music other then that it was pretty good.

edit: just played through most of the NORMAL version and it wasn't any harder

Hi !
Easy mode is normal mode with a few spikes and obstacles removed.
I think the most noticable difference is in the volcano area.
I don't remember all of the changes honestly, but indeed it's not very different from normal. Only slightly easier. ^^

incredibly frustrating jumping. im used to it by now, but wow. ive kept on dying on this one jump to get a medal. gonna reload and try easy mode instead

Thanks for the little game. Finished with 5 medals and 130 deaths.

The jumping requires too much accuracy imo, too frustrating in many places. Apart from that a nice little game.

too many deaths caused by lag making jumps untimeable. 

Hi !
If you are having performance issues you can try to play the game on the Lexaloffle website here :

I will put up an executable version if the game still runs slowly there.

I also updated the game to version 1.1
It now has an "easy" option, hopefully making the game less frustrating.
