Hamish

Hamish is a momentum-driven action platformer that begins in the war-torn Highlands of Scotland and carries you through strange, hostile worlds. You run, jump, grapple and stomp across stages where each new setting changes the rules, facing dangers, secrets and end bosses along the way.

Worlds and stages

The game has 39 main levels across 9 worlds, plus 69 hidden challenge levels. The stages include low-gravity space, where you pilot a ship in frantic battles; snowy peaks crossed on a snowboard; neon-lit city streets where corrupt enforcers hunt you in the rain; and cursed rails aboard a haunted train. Other realms lie beyond these, each more dangerous than the last.

Momentum and upgrades

Hamish gains speed as he runs, so you need to control your rhythm while using wall jumps, grapples, slides and precision stomps to evade traps and enemies. You unlock upgrades, including the double jump, as the journey continues. Gems can be spent in a shop on armour, health and special items, while NPCs offer upgrades and surprises. Gear such as double jump boots and glide wings helps you take on tougher levels and foes.

Bosses and challenges

The journey includes 7 unique boss fights and special gameplay shifts, including snowboarding, spaceship battles and a rhythm-based fight. Achievements and secrets reward exploration and mastery. The game uses pixel-art visuals.
