Jaded

You awaken deep in a cavern and set out across the island of Stosia on a quest to save a life. The adventure leads through a sequence of rooms and areas, with a story unfolding along the way.

Move through hazards with jumps and all-direction dashes, and use time-slowing to pick your moment. Combat combines sword strikes with dashes that can link enemies so a hit on one can affect the others.

The journey includes boss fights and more than 350 rooms. Hidden butterflies provide an optional collecting goal, with 51 scattered throughout the adventure.

Players often praise the responsive movement and platforming, the time-slowing and dash mechanics, and the level design. Many also enjoy the story and pixel-art presentation. Some find the combat repetitive or sections demanding, and several report cannon or controller problems.
