About this game
“When the wells of the Atlas mountains run dry, a young shepherd follows the moon’s reflection into the depths below…”
Amalu is a mystical, atmospheric pixel-art 2D Metroidvania platformer inspired by Amazigh and North African folklore.
“Amalu” is a Tamazight word meaning “shadow,” “reflection,” or “symbol.” It’s a concept rooted in Amazigh storytelling, a word often tied to memory, spirit, and the things that remain even when everything else fades.
Thoughtful Platforming & Exploration
Amalu blends precise 2D platforming with exploration and puzzle-solving:
Carefully crafted levels that reward curiosity
Environmental puzzles that evolve as worlds shift
Non-linear and backtracking that reveals new meaning, not repetition
A World Written in Symbols
The game’s environments are shaped by glyphs, sigils, and symbolic systems inspired by ancient Amazigh tradition and folklores from North Africa
Read and activate mystical glyphs to alter the environment
Shift between interconnected worlds to reveal hidden paths
Use knowledge, not force, to overcome obstacles and puzzles
Every symbol tells a story. Every puzzle is a sentence waiting to be read.
