Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D platformer where you wield a paint cannon whose colors create different effects like stickiness or bounce, helping you clear tricky levels and free the Splashers from a factory. Precise platforming and speed take center stage, with old-school difficulty and tongue-in-cheek humor.

As space reporter Ulala, you defeat alien invaders by copying their dance moves in perfect rhythm. Its vivid retro-futuristic style and groovy soundtrack make this rhythm game unforgettable.

Bit.Trip Runner
