In-game capture of a pink-brick hall with glowing arched windows, crystals and the hero

A very small hero with a very big weapon. Wall-jump, ricochet and disco your way through 15 levels.

A chunky, colourful 2.5D Souls-like action-platformer. Ten classes, bosses with their own tricks, whimsical map-wide skills and a Puzzle mode where flipping the camera changes the world.

Meet the Dense Knight

A short teaser made from real gameplay. The full trailer arrives with the Steam page.

Preview teaser: a placeholder cut, the final trailer replaces it.

What makes it different

Small hero. Big ideas.

Whimsical skills

Earn skill points and learn specials like Disco Inferno (a mirror ball drops and the whole stage dances), Rainbow Road, Groovy Trip and Moon Bounce. They hit every enemy in the level.

Bosses with a trick

No boss is just a health bar. Bat Sir Lobs-a-Lot's own orbs back at him, wall-jump up to Count Flapula, survive a three-act finale with a timed obstacle course in the middle.

Grow your hero

Earn XP, level up, upgrade your specials and equip them to your slots. In Survival, dying costs you all of it. In Journey, you keep it.

Wall jumps & ricochets

Hold jump longer to fly further off a wall. Time a heavy attack to bat enemy and boss projectiles straight back where they came from. Every class can do both.

Make your knight

Body and head shapes, eyes, mouths, hair, ears, horns, headgear, capes, accessories and colours, with a live rotating 3D preview and a randomise button.

Play with a friend

Two-player co-op in every mode: couch on one PC with two controllers, or online with an invite code. A downed hero can be revived by the partner.

Everything about the game

Puzzle mode

Flip the world

Ten hand-made levels where what you see decides what exists. Flip the camera 180 degrees and walls, steps and bridges that only live in the front or back world appear. Three puzzle bosses of their own: Janus, Vex and the Prism Colossus.

Puzzle mode is the most experimental part of the game.
