Juno's Darkest Hour

Juno's Darkest Hour is a challenging 2D action-adventure platformer set in the monochromatic, pixelated world of Canopia. The lizard wizard Glykon has stolen the world’s essence to increase his powers and reshape the land. He plans to capture and devour all four Essence Spirits; Juno, the last free Spirit, is the only hope of stopping him.

You guide the defenseless Juno through dangerous lands to rescue her friends and defeat Glykon’s minions. Avoid enemies with quick reflexes and sharp wits, and combine characters and items to reach new areas and find treasures before confronting the wizard. The game also features a nostalgia-driven soundtrack.

Explore Canopia

The game has 40 levels with varied settings, including a snow-covered forest, a pirate-infested lagoon, a gentlemen’s lounge, an abandoned temple built on a volcano, crystal caverns and a haunted palace in the sky. The levels also contain plenty of bottomless pits, along with secrets to discover.

Characters and items

Rescue additional playable characters, each with unique abilities. Some abilities come with limitations: one character cannot climb ladders, while another can only say “Meow.” Since Juno has little means of defending herself, you can equip useful items such as the Top Hat, which greatly increases her social standing. Different character and item combinations can also open up new areas.

Bosses and collectibles

More than eight bosses require unexpected strategies. You might transform into a sonic assault butterfly to fight evil spiders, or face an immortal warrior in an orb duel. Revisit levels with different character and item combinations to collect all the Season Fragments. These unlock pieces of lore and weaken the evil force corrupting Canopia.
