The Sun and Moon

Gameplay comes before story

You dive into the ground and gravity flips, so your conserved momentum launches you high into the sky or deep beneath the surface. Collect the three orbs in each level and reach the wormhole, while spikes and bottomless drops make every stage harder than the last.

Magician Lord

Action-packed real-time combat

Toki

Jumping and platforming

You guide Dadish, a radish dad, through swamps, rocket rides and even outer space to find his missing kids. It pairs tight, challenging platforming with a wonderfully silly sense of humor.
