Angvik

About

Angvik is a platform action game where you play a young warrior determined to reclaim a castle seized by a brute. Armed with your father’s equipment, you’ll cross colorful but treacherous environments, battling enemies and solving light puzzles. Progression relies on mastering jumps, timing attacks, and using environmental tools. Every death is permanent since you start with just one life, adding tension to each leap and clash. The game’s hand-drawn visuals and tight level design stand out, though its difficulty curve can be punishing. With a 72% on Metacritic, players praise its charm but note it leans heavily into challenge. Developer Alastair John Jack crafted the entire project alone, which shows in both its cohesive style and occasional rough edges. The single-life rule never lets up, making every run feel high-stakes.
