Abstracto

Abstracto is a retro-inspired, combat-focused platformer with a deep hack-and-slash combat system. You play as Forte, a blue square on a quest to defeat Immotus and save the strange land of the Abstract. Armed with a powerful sword from his creator, the Structor, Forte fights through the dilapidated Abstract, learns to battle its creatures and makes peace with some of them.

Combat and progression

Defeating enemies earns Materia, which you can spend on new attacks and abilities. Chaining combos until enemies break increases the Materia you gain. Bosses reward stones for your sword, and you can swap stones mid-combo to suit your needs. Releasing the attack button just before an attack comes out enhances it.

You can parry by blocking as an attack hits. A successful parry negates all damage and reflects projectiles; a well-timed parry can also cancel your attacks. The combat system lets you link long combos into powerful attacks.

Characters and levels

Abstracto includes 80 levels, four difficulty settings and three unlockable characters.
