Play as the Guardians as they fight their way through the Steampunk city in the clouds, collecting items and defeating the allies of the ever-chasing destroyer- Jack the Ripper. You must stop him!
The game features:
- Free-Roaming: Unlike most running games you can actually stop, and run left!, allowing you to explore the environment a bit more. Not recommended on the hard mode!
- Racing against a chaser: To keep you moving along and fighting tooth and nail, The Ripper chases with his giant cloud of thunder. The higher the difficulty- the faster he moves. Be wary though, as Ripper can shoot electric bolts!
- Using mechanics: To keep you in the sky and alive and well, you must avoid gas leaks, control crane platforms, put out fires, and more!
- Multi-characters: There are three characters with their own uniquely designed levels across various locations. Brella, Cutlass, and Firearm- members of the Guardians. The leader of the Guardians, a small flying robot called Zeal, also follows the characters on their missions. Each character has their own back-story, personality, and platforming ability (such as Brella using her umbrella to glide)!
- Shields-up!: Utilise the player shield by collecting the fireflies for their dust around the city. Using the shield protects you from Ripper attacks, enemy blows, fires, gas leeks, and anything else that might damage you!
- Tactical fast combat: Each character has a very unique fighting style. You can test them out in the arena/tutorial area, and really be tested in the city.
- Multiple replayable levels: Platform your way across many levels including ‘The Factory’, and ‘Daylight Victoria’. Each level features 3 different difficulty star ratings and a timer system! Simply survive to the portal at the end!
- Indoor running: Forget traditional rooftop running! Run indoors too! Some floating buildings can be entered! Jump in through windows or tunnels or use and find the secrets within!
- Steam bonuses: Steam users will also collect trading cards.
- Extra levels: The game also features an arena with character selection, and a combat and platforming tutorial. I also look to addship flying levels!
- Upgrade! Conquor! Earn skillpoints through take-downs and collectables and upgrade your characters, speed, jump, attack and health! There is lots your can do.

Game so I good I bought it after trying it pirated.
Music that does not fit the game - but at least is the best part of it - terrible gameplay, dysfunfunctional artwork, and the game does not exit properly - still registers as running in Steam, and even trying to forcefully close it using Steam will not work. Must fully exit Steam instead. 2/10.
This is the greatest micro-sized failure I have ever played. I love it with every ounce of my heart. It is a huge inspiration for other game devs and myself, because this game has lowered the standard so much that it might as well be at the center of the planet. Virtually anyone can do it better. Just play it, seriously, give it a go. Why should I explain what's wrong with this game, it's only $1.99, grab some friends and have a laugh!
It has 12 trading cards, the only way they can squeeze any money with this garbage.
TL,DR: this game in unbeliavably horrible, don't waste your precious time.
So, i got this game in a bundle for something about 5 cents, maybe. Sold the cards and made some money, a lot more than i spent, AND STILL THINK IT WASN'T WORTH IT.
This game has to be some kind of joke, i can't believe someone would actually release something so horrible, ugly, unresponsive and poorly done.
I mean, if i was in a locked room with the developer of this game and Stalin, and i had a gun with just one bullet, i would definetly shoot Stalin right in the head, JUST SO I COULD HAVE THE PLEASURE OF BEATING THE HELL OUT OF THE DAMN DEVELOPER
To be fair, the game DOES corresponds to it's proposal of beeing a "challenging platform". After all:
- When you launch it, it's very challenging to NOT break your PC with a brick. That is, of course, if the game doesn't break it by itself, since It consumes any RAM from any computer within a 50 miles radius;
- When you see the opening menu, it's very challenging to find out what to do in such a polluted screen;
- When you can finally manage to enter the game, it's very challenging to get over all of the scribbles on the screens made of WordArt;
- It's also very challenging to figure out what is platform and what is background, since everything it's equally ugly;
- It takes about three minutes for the game to figure out you want to jump and respond to it, leading to situations such as:
- You walk = you die
- You manage to jump after three steps = you die.
- You open your umbrella = the game crashes and you die.
- You play = you die. and the game also crashes. a lot.
Can't think of anything more challenging than that. So, yeah, very challenging, congratulations.
And, as a bonus feature, it doesn't terminate when you quit and invisibly hides out, consuming a bizarrely large amount of RAM. It's like a dementor of performance.
Long story short, it's a very glitchy, crashy game with an awful art, poor fonts and texts, horrible gameplay and it SOMEHOW still manages to consume more RAM than The Witcher 3 in full 4k resolution **WITH** that mod that enhances the hair effects. Can't recommend it, even as a joke.
Whelp.
TWO hours gone.
But at least daddy didnt make me do dishesh.
Barely steampunk game.

TLDR: The steampunk top hat firearm and run in a cloud city setting might had worked, but with the lazy effort with the audio sound effects, the obvious tiling of the levels, the overall cheap quality of the 2D tile assets, the glitchy character behavior that gets stuck in ennemies or platforms, and the overall unpolished feel of everything from the menu, to the controls, to the actual setting, this game is best forgotten as if it never existed. Waste of a cool violin track
That's quite an achievement to spend so much effort on a game totally lacking programming and design skills. Literally, unplayable.
Terrible game. Game instructions aren't even clear. Menu is very clunky, ugly, and hard to read. Can only shoot one direction even though your character can turn around. Awful game.
Absolutely broken platformer with rubbish controls! I've really enjoyed flying through platforms or not being able to jump at all in some cases. And what about that train stage? It's borderline impossible to complete! On the plus side, the sprites are fine, but that's it. Overall, avoid at all costs!
It's a shame.
This game has a decent style to it and a lot of assets,
which look okay IMO. However, horrible controls,
technical issues and awful menus make it unplayable.
If you scroll over my avatar, you might see that I'm playing this game right now.
I'm not, it's stuck, or well - one of the THREE processes, used by title, is stuck in background, even after I quit the game.
When you start the game you will be greeted by something that should represent interactive menu.
However, this menu is so bad that you have to mouse-over things and take a step back, try to figure out
what button does what and then finally start to play this game. Okay, I may have overstated that one, but
it's quite close to that feeling. So many elements trying to grab your focus, hiding away important info,
blending in with background, using bad colors ... ugh.
Same thing goes for tutorial area, which is supposed to show you the controls.
It shows labels that are sometimes hard to see, due to the blending with background behind them.
Tutorial itself focuses rather on level dangers and leaves out couple of important things ...
Finally, most critical "off" in my opinion is definitely bad collision coding.
I couldn't run 5 meters without getting stuck to random objects on map.
Maps themselves are also somewhat blending too much, enough that I don't really
know will I die if I jump on something.
I feel like developer should take a step back and try to solve all the issues.
It might end up as a funny runner game, or whatever genre it claims to be.
Right now it just looks like a title that has it all, but is not polished nearly enough
to be enjoyable.
four processes "nw.exe" that eats all memory RAM and CPU power which can find ....
One gets the feeling that this crap crafting bitcoins, in parallel trying to run some kind of freaky game
This game is so grand :D
the game is very good for a new game maker, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :D
If you load the game you get an award for waiting through the loading process as it takes so long.
If you can figure out how to start a level, you win the "starter" award for being able to navigate the bad graphics.
When you start the first level you can get an award for restarting (or respawning after dying) and watching the instructions 100 times.
If you jump over the first two red buildings and then fall off the blue building, you've gone as far as you can. You win the "fall to your death" award. If you do that with a friend...it's co-op!
That's where the game ends, so you should stop trying to go farther. You can't. I'll update with more achievements if I even launch the game again. It consumes any RAM from any computer within a 10 block radius of my house.
Actually, I won't relaunch. I only paid $0.22 for the game with a 90% off coupon, but I'm still going to request a refund. Never mind, I've had so much fun trashing this game that it was worth it. In case you haven't picked up on it, this game is terrible.
**edit** I am not eligable for a refund because even though I closed the game it...it didn't close. Now I'm over 2 hours of playtime. It keeps taking my RAM and recording game time for me. Now I can't get my $0.22 back. :(
✘ Bought for 10¢.
✘ Read all recent reviews and still decided to buy it, cause 10¢ reasons.
✘ Start game and quickly notice there is something 'off' about it.
✘ Music reminds me of The Vaudevillains from WWE, so quickly mute sound.
✘ Start level; Die immediately.
✘ Tried playing game several times.
✘ Changed from a girl with a machine gun(?) into a guy(?) with long hair and a green jacket.
✘ Didn't understand what was happening, so dead.
✘ Screen keeps moving and head feels like it's about to explode.
✘ Game will not close and still says I am playing in Steam although am not.
✘ Must force-close Steam to stop game. Every, Single. Time.
Not worth 10¢.
Avoid like plague.
As I write this review the game is currently under early access with patch 1.7
I don't know if the new update rendered the game unplayable, or if it was broke upon launch. Once I get into the game I get a Game Over screen within a few seconds. I am glad I only paid 0.29cents for the game, but they need to do some major fixes to this game. I wish the developer the best of luck, but I currently cannot recommend the game in it's current state. I will revisit it someday on my channel to see if the game got any better.

As of the time of this review, the game is EXTREMELLY slow (mostly due to the fact that it tries to eat all my RAM), and every input has a delay, so you're probably gonna die before your character does anything.
The objects of the scenary seem to be aesthetically disconnected, which makes the gameplay harder, as it can sometimes confuse you about the right path to follow.
It is not playable, as of now.
--Updated review as of 6th january--
TL;DR Not recommended in current state: RAM usage problem + unfinished
--
Played a bit, tried tutorial and 3 levels
The main problem is still there. Game uses ~2 gb RAM in main menu and scales up to 3-4 gb while playing levels.
Here are some more significant problems:
- game is lagging as hell through levels. This is unacceptable for any game, but especially for one, based on precise jumping and timing
- same goes for music and game sounds - they're lagging along with visuals. Also, there's a bug with "water" platforms - using them more than 3-4 times causes "water" sounds overlapping and stopping all the music and game sounds
- various bugs (inability to jump, falling through platforms, freezing death screen, etc)
- some poor desicions with level design: too colorful backgrounds causing text to be unreadable, no clear distinction between surfaces you can and can't stand on, tips on the bottom of the screen while playing (you probably wouldn't read 'em because game is fast-paced)
- general feeling of incompleteness, no unified visual and audio style (for example, half of the music is standard MacLeod themes, there's no animation of lightnings, etc)
Still barely playable, still not recommended
I don't really like to bash games on here to this extent but after the experience I have just had trying to play the game I think people should know how it currently plays.
This game is *very* unfinished despite claiming to be on patch 1.3 at the moment. The menus have overlapping music tracks, the buttons take 5 or 6 attempts to click, when I finally got into the game the screen stretched in weird ways over itself before dumping me onto a screen in which I could only look left and right (Tried using all three sets of movement controls from the controls screen).
On my second attempt to play the game I was able to move! (I think jumping first set it off)
I have a video below of my second attempt at playing the game to back up my claims (Yes I know I'm not very good at it, I was mainly surprised that it let me move after the first time)

Not so much a runner as an auto-scrolling platformer - think of the Mario levels where the screen keeps moving to the right, and you lose a life if you're left behind.
There are three characters to choose from - a Princess Peach-a-like who glides and attacks with her parasol, a pirate who can double jump and stab baddies with her cutlass and an Irish Steampunk version of FFVII's Barrett, whose gun arm works like a turret.
There are some excellent songs in the soundtrack, and the art is mostly charming.
IF you choose to buy the game now, know that it's in VERY early access. Some of the basics are missing - menus don't work as they should, control is a bit sluggish, some enemies are unintentionally immortal, many key animations aren't in place yet, most levels are missing and so on.
Despite that, the groundwork is there for a true gem, and I think the current price (about $3 USD) is fair for what's currently in place.
The devs have shown themselves to be very responsive to feedback, and have already massively updated the game in response to user input in the few days it's been out.
This is definitely one to watch.
Recommended for anyone who likes the idea of the game and is willing to put up with a VERY early access product. HIGHLY recommended for those who enjoy giving constructive feedback.
