Harold

About

Harold is a side-scrolling platformer where you control Gabe, an angel guiding a bumbling human through perilous levels. Your job is to tweak the environment, moving hazards, shifting terrain, to keep Harold alive as he stumbles toward the finish. The twist is Harold’s total lack of coordination: he’ll trip, fall, and charge into danger without a second thought. Success demands quick thinking and precise timing to outmaneuver both obstacles and rival runners racing the same path. The game’s charm lies in its detailed, hand-drawn visuals that evoke classic animation. While the 2015 release date and small studio roots mean it lacks modern polish, fans of tricky platforming and indirect control mechanics might find it rewarding. With single-player only and no online leaderboards, it’s a self-contained challenge focused on mastering Gabe’s limited tools against Harold’s unpredictable chaos.
