This is a game about victory and it's insignificance. This is not a game for everybody, even though it should be.

The web version of the game contains weird audio glitches. Download the game for the best experience.


I made this game in a week for the ZenoJam 1 game jam.

I made all of the art, animations, effects, code, music, and sounds by myself.


If you think you can't beat the game on Normal, be free to try the Easy difficulty.

Great game! I've set up a speedrun.com page if anyone wants to submit their runs :)

Thank you so much! I actually thought of adding an in-game timer for speedrunning purposes.

An in-game timer would be great!

As promised I've tried again and finished the canonical way, but I wanted to see the crown so I did another run and recorded that ;p

I didn't think anyone would be curious enough to go for the crown, but I guess I was wrong. Thank you for playing and making the video! :D

it seems to have a problem with the jumps in the bottom right corner at the start - for some reason the jumping technique used to get there (past the signs) doesnt work , and pressing the c key which seems to flash up does nothing ? am i missing something ?

The number above the player indicates how many jumps you have left. Did you try double-jumping?

I like the idea and game feel, but it looks like I cannot jump when I hold my left button

silly.
