Ask about this game

A short, pretty brawler-platformer with a charge swing and a fairy who sells spells. Stages are linear. Bosses are charge-release exams.

Tips

  • Start here

    Hold the axe until it flashes

    A tap is a poke; a charge is the game. Cutlery from the fairy beats panic swinging. Don't spend gold on a spell you won't remember to cast.

  • Bosses

    Full charge, then a step back

    Most bosses punish a greedy third swing. The last stage is a clock. Continue from the start of the act, so treat each life like a route.
