, a brutal 2.5D pixel art platformer
Climb high.
Fall hard.
Start over.
A 2.5D pixel art platformer with no hit points. Enemies don't damage you, they push you. Every fall adds one to a score you can never lower, and it follows you back to the title screen.
0HP
No health bar
You're standing on the platform or you're not. There is no middle state to manage.
∞Falls
The Fall Score
Every fall adds one. The counter never resets and never forgets a mistake.
2.5DWorld
Handmade pixel art
Layered isometric islands with real depth, and gaps that are easy to misjudge.
About
A knight, a sword,
and a very long fall.
You play a lone knight paired with a blade that has seen far too many respawns. Together you climb a world built to shake you off it.
There are no potions and no second wind. The moment you leave the platform, whether by your own mistake or an enemy's shove, the run resets. Every vertical inch is earned.
Enemies aren't here to whittle down your health. They're here to move you one step too far. Every encounter is a spatial puzzle: cut them down or get pushed off.

Mechanics
Simple rules.
Brutal consequences.
No hit points
Nothing chips away at a health bar, because there is no health bar. One fall into the abyss sends you back to the start.
Enemies push, not hurt
Contact costs you position, never health. Every fight becomes a balance problem on a platform that feels smaller each second.
The Fall Score
Your falls are counted and kept. The number sits on the title screen as a record of exactly what the climb cost you.
Spin combat
Throw the blade and spin it to clear space, deflect enemies, and buy yourself one more step of room. Timing decides everything.
Climb. Fall. Remember the platform. Repeat until you reach the top.
