Evaluation

Garlic is a solo-developed hardcore platformer that launched on June 15, 2021. In the months following launch, the developer shipped several gameplay improvements and bug fixes, with the most substantial post-launch update arriving on July 24, 2022 — a significant gameplay overhaul that revamped trap/enemy behavior, level design, and the combo dash system. The only DLC ever released is the soundtrack, which came out on November 9, 2021. There are no announced or unreleased DLC packs, no roadmap, and no developer statements about future content. The most recent developer post, from December 19, 2025, is a Steam Deck compatibility beta branch — a maintenance update rather than new content, suggesting the developer is still occasionally tinkering with the game to keep it functional on new hardware but is not developing new gameplay content. The game appears to have shipped as a complete experience, with post-launch activity focused entirely on bug fixes and gameplay polish rather than expanding the content. The last meaningful content addition was the July 2022 gameplay overhaul, and no further content has been signaled since.
Evidence
Major gameplay overhaul: revamped trap/enemy warning system, shot delays, level design polish across the whole game, and a reworked combo/power dash mechanic. This is the last substantive content update.

About this game

Dive into this addictive hardcore platformer,
You are Garlic, an onion-headed boy and you want to climb the Sacred Tower to meet the Cyber Goddess that grants a wish to the heroes who reach the top..


But this time it seems that things are not going to go as planned, (wow what an unexpected story)

Don't wanna spoil you all the game but there seems to be something with the Cyber Goddess


Why not talking a bit about gameplay..?

Wall jump, dash, tons of traps and some enemies too, with lot of moving backgrounds,
one screen stages and large stages, many checkpoints to not get frustrated in a simple n fun mechanics, with possibility of advanced gameplay performing amazing combo dashes (just try it out by spamming the dash button into walls, floors and even ceilings!)
inspired by Super Meatboy, Celeste, Gato Roboto....
