About Arcabbit
Arcabbit is a neon-drenched 2D platformer from Duct Hive, released November 12, 2025 on PC and Mac. It boils down to a simple hook: you control a small rabbit who latches onto platforms with two claws, swinging like a pendulum to build speed. The game’s stages are designed as rhythmic gauntlets, with obstacles and hazards syncing to the beat of its synth-heavy soundtrack. It’s not just about jumping, it’s about timing, momentum, and memorizing patterns. The result is a game that’s equal parts frustrating and addictive, with a focus on precision and repetition. If you’ve ever enjoyed punishing platformers that punish you for blinking at the wrong moment, this is your vibe.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time swinging between platforms, swapping left and right to avoid spikes, sawblades, and shifting terrain. Each stage is a timed challenge where you can’t land on solid ground, only latch onto surfaces with your claws. Momentum is key: let your swing slow, and you’ll plummet. The music pulses in sync with environmental hazards, creating a “one more try” loop that’s hard to quit. Levels escalate quickly, introducing moving platforms, collapsing sections, and traps that reset if you touch them. Controls are tight but unforgiving, requiring split-second button presses. Sessions rarely last more than 10 minutes before a single mistake restarts you. It’s twitchy, punishing fun for fans of pixel-perfect platforming.
What Players Think
Critic score sits at 91/100, with praise for its “unrelenting energy and clever stage design.” Community ratings are 89% positive, though 78% of players report “frustrated” moods. Average playtime is 42 hours, with 38% of users completing the full campaign. The game’s 50 achievements have a 68% global completion rate, suggesting many quit before the end. Players split on whether its difficulty is fair, 32% call it “grindy,” while 63% say it’s “entertaining.” The soundtrack and visual style are consistently highlighted, with one review calling it “the most chaotic screensaver ever made.”
PlayPile's Take
Arcabbit is for players who thrive on high difficulty and don’t mind restarting levels dozens of times. At $19.99, it’s a low-risk buy if you like games like Celeste or Spelunky. The 50 achievements add incentive to push through, but the 38% completion rate shows it’s not for everyone. If you get motion sick from fast swings or hate permadeath, walk away. But if you love platformers that demand muscle memory over strategy, this neon rabbit will chew through your free time.
