Jump into a neo-retro adventure with Pankapu: a taste of ‘90s platformers in an oneiric world. Pankapu is a narrative-driven action-platformer that takes place in the dreams of Djaha’rell, a child troubled by a tragic incident. Upgrade your skills, find new competences, and switch your Aegis in real time in order to get rid of Nightmare's invasion.

"Fight for the safety of your land, dear Dreamkeeper".

Told in the manner of a fable read to a child, the game has two levels of reading: the tale of Pankapu, epic and naive, and the one about Djaha’rell's life, in the real-world, dark and tragic.

If you need a 2D platforming fix you can't go far wrong with Pankapu. While the polished, crisp, beautiful presentation and gameplay are engaging enough, it is nevertheless slightly let down by a few elements that affect the beat by beat and overall flow of the game. The charming characters and parallel narrative are intriguing, and while the resonant themes, fantastical atmosphere and wonderful locales enchant and are especially vibrant on a big screen, the controls aren't quite tight or precise enough considering the challenging level design an enemy combat. An enjoyable game, if not quite as strong as it could have been.
