About the Game

Jump into a neo-retro adventure with Pankapu : a taste of 90’s platformers in an oneiric world. Pankapu is a narrative action-platformer that takes place in the dreams of Djaha’rell, a child troubled by a tragic incident. Upgrade your skills, find new competencies, 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 naïve, and the one about Djaha’rell's life, in the real-world, dark and tragic.

It's a good game in my opinion. As for the controls, yes, they are a little complicated, but everything else about this game is good enough in my opinion. I got it for free when it was on sale, but it's worth it even

Pankapu is one of those platformers that immediately stands out because of its art style. The hand-drawn visuals, vibrant colors, and dreamlike atmosphere give the game a lot of charm, and at times it genuinely feels

Pankapu is a thoughtfully crafted indie action-platformer that blends traditional side-scrolling gameplay with an emotionally driven narrative framework. Developed by Too Kind Studio and published by Dear Villagers, the

Not sure how I feel about this. 1) The idea of changing the fighting styles is nice, but then they added the Aegis, too, which gives another dimension to the skills. This is nice in non-hectic situations, but in the
