  • Gameplay comes before story

Abscond

Gameplay comes before story

A small indie arcade game where you dodge obstacles and projectiles while grabbing points before they vanish. It's all about chasing a high score and beating your friends on the leaderboard.

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist but punishing platformer with simple rules that demands precise jumps and quick reflexes. Expect plenty of retries before you conquer the levels.
