About this game

Do you like playing platform games and especially the old ones? A brand new and yet old game (in appearance) in 16-bit cartoon graphics. Experience a crazy adventure with an unusual hero. Suitable for everyone who wants to relax and have a good time. The individual levels are just the right length, and the difficulty is also set appropriately to make the game fun, but still not entirely easy. It all just depends on your skill. Beautiful pixel graphics like the good old games, but not insanely and deliberately difficult to play. Reminisce about the good old games with something new yet familiar.

A short summary:

  • 18 hand crafted levels

  • Lots of weird enemies

  • Endgame boss fight (level 19th)

  • You can replay already completed levels and beat your previous score

  • Each level with a different musical theme to set the right mood

  • 16-bit graphics

  • Cartoon violence (no blood)

  • Controls with keyboard or gamepad (Xbox or compatible) only for player movement and mouse in game/pause menu

  • And of course lots of fun :-)

Get closer and hear the story of an unusual hero's epic journey. (What? Yeah, I know. Your name is Frank. Can I continue?)

So listen, like a true hero without fear or shame, Frank immediately set out selflessly to save the world. (What? Well, it wasn't selflessly and not willingly. Look, do you want to tell the story yourself? No? So shut up and leave it to me.)

Well, it wasn't so selfless because he was promised a huge reward for it, so he decided to help out and went on a quest where he met some cute and friendly creatures. (Huh? They was cute, but definitely not friendly? Look, I can't scare everyone right now. I have to start easy. Otherwise I won't finish this story.)

Our hero Frank literally overcame giant mountains and icy plains, deep forests and dark undergrounds, he even visited a mysterious old castle, and all this just to face an enemy the world had never known before. (Hey, that's not nice of you. I can't say it was an orange scumbag. This doesn't fit in an epic story. Evil must always be big and seemingly invincible.)

So, at the end, an orange scumbag was waiting for him... eh, what am I saying?.. an enemy of unprecedented size and immeasurable power, with whom our hero named Frank had to cross forces. (What? You ran away from him like a hare? But you're not a hare. Ah, figuratively speaking. Oh, my God. You know what? Finish this story yourself. I'm done.)

If you want to know how this epic and goofy story ends, then accompany our little hero named Frank (Satisfied?) on his quest for glory and saving the world. (I know you only care about the promised nuts.)

This is really nuts.
