The Developer Says...

HardAF is a punishing, precision platformer . . . in the dark. Uncover the level with every death, earn swag and unlock new chapters. Run, Jump, Dash, Die, Repeat.

The player navigates through a series of increasingly difficult levels filled with hidden obstacles, traps, and hazards, only revealing more of the level with the splatter of every death. Along with the included levels, HardAF comes with a built-in level editor that allows the players to build and share levels.
