About this game

Play as the Fool, an oversized man mistaken for a legendary hero, and carve through collapsing mines, lava bursts, charming-yet-vicious monsters. Inspired by the systems-based gameplay of Spelunky, and the pick-up-and-play appeal of Crash Bandicoot.

BE THE DESTRUCTION

Every time you jump you break the surface below you. Break volatile levels, and grapple out of sticky situations. Manipulate the environment by hooking things towards you or kicking things away.

CHAIN REACTIONS

Everything is destructible. You can either use it to your advantage, or watch as levels crash down around you. Simply breaking one rock can lead to lava pouring through a whole chamber, or set off chain reactions of explosives and cave collapses.

YOU'RE A FORCE OF NATURE

Combine your explosive weight with a pickaxe that can break everything, and a grappling hook that can pull you up and across anything. Defeat lovable-but-powerful enemies with your destructive tools. Explore and escape underground chambers before giant rolling boulders destroy the levels and crush you into pieces.

NEVER MEANT TO BE A HERO

You're the Fool, a heavyset man from the Lands Above, who falls through the surface and enters the Uderland. For hundreds of years, the Uder people have lived underground in secrecy. But for some reason the Uder think you're the legendary Earthmover. Maybe you are?
