Amelite

Amelite is a 2D platformer that will challenge your creativity in this new take on a classic genre. Create your own path as the power of drawing platforms is in YOUR hands.

Find yourself at the bottom of an abandoned and mystical tower, overgrown by dangerous crystals. With the help of a peculiar creature, climb your way to the top through an ever challenging environment, and find your way home. Leap over gaping holes, block incoming projectiles, or wall-jump in tandem with your own walls. Amelite is a game packed with creative challenges, and every player is free to make their own solutions!

This game has been developed for PC, and using a mouse is highly recommended. The game is also compatible with drawing tablets.

A relaxing first-person puzzle game in which you explore a painterly stylized forest, using powers to solve puzzles and to discover the secrets of the forest.

Immerse yourself in this first glimpse of the painterly stylized forest level of Urskog, a relaxing first-person puzzle game where you solve puzzles using the powers of the elements to solve puzzles: in this level the Wind Power.

This is the beginning of a journey to the depths of a mysterious forest. Take your first steps into the forest and explore the meandering rivers, the deep caves, and the rolling hills.
