Volar

Volar is a platforming game about a raccoon on the run from their past, pursued by their other half, who commands an army of Nightmares. You guide Volar through five worlds and 40 main-game levels, using single-button controls to jump, air dive and activate abilities. The story follows Volar as they try to overcome their past and move on.

Movement and challenges

On the ground, an arrow rotates around Volar. Hold the button to stop it, then release to jump in the indicated direction. While airborne, press the button again to air dive, which can help correct a mistimed jump or get away from an enemy. Diving onto physics blocks cracks or breaks them, and Volar automatically hops up onto a higher ledge when near one.

Each level presents a new challenge. Accessibility options include No Damage and controls for speeding up or slowing down the game.

Masks and power-ups

Power-ups grant an ability and let Volar take one extra hit from enemy damage. Some activate when Volar lands after an air dive; the Fire Mask, for example, burns nearby wooden blocks and enemies. Others, such as the Rocket, activate when you double-tap while airborne. Power-ups reset when Volar touches the ground. Hearts also allow Volar to take one extra hit, and a secret power-up unlocks at the very end of the last level.

Coins and outfits

Coins are scattered throughout the levels. You can spend them on power-ups you have already found or on outfits that change Volar's appearance without affecting gameplay.
