Brings what grabs you about Gargoyle's Quest: jumping and platforming, a fantasy setting as well as combat with precise timing.

A retro pixel-art adventure in the spirit of classic 8-bit games: Elliot explores an island packed with dungeons, secrets and boss fights to stop an ancient demon. Archery, magic and new abilities gradually open up more of the map.
