Count Pumpcula

Count Pumpcula is a 2D Metroidvania adventure set across the Eastern Archipelago of Lanthir Range. You dash, jump and fight through seven main areas on your way back to your castle, rescuing the Sagelings from a curse in the Forest of Orn, facing prehistoric creatures thought extinct and escaping the beasts of the Isle of Orad. You can also rest with companions on Travellers Cove.

The world of Lanthir

The hand-drawn environments include forests, caves, catacombs and islands, with ancient mysteries and lore to investigate and secret areas to find. The seven main areas are:

• Travellers Cove: a quiet, magical island where you can rest with your companions.
• Krakens Pass: home to cold-blooded creatures in Poseidon's dominion.
• Ulunn Cave: an ancient underground area tangled with the roots of the towering Forest of Orn.
• The Dark Woods: a misty landscape of tall pine trees, with a small, friendly inn.
• Isle of Orod: dark, dusty mountains inhabited by rock beasts and blind bugs, among sharp stalactites.
• Forest of Orn: a tree village where the Sagelings live; a curse has fallen on their forest, and they need help.
• Minas Gilath: a tower reaching the clouds and stars, where the Sage Knights decide whether you are worthy to pass.

Explore and fight

You search for hidden areas, tackle challenging platforming and use fluid movement mechanics such as coyote time and precise control over jump height. Strong attacks can stun enemies, while parallax effects add depth to the environments.

Abilities and companions

At Noon's Pub, you trade with a local barter to acquire new abilities that help you progress. These abilities make you stronger and can open new paths. Along the way, you meet quirky companions who offer company during your adventure.
