Kick Bastards

About

Kick Bastards is a platformer that focuses on fluid movement and precise timing. Players navigate shifting environments using a combination of jumps, wall runs, and momentum-based tricks. Each level requires figuring out the fastest path through obstacles, with rewards for creativity and efficiency. The controls emphasize responsiveness over complexity, letting you chain moves into seamless flows. The game’s standout is its level design, which balances visual variety with tight physics. Community speedrun times often highlight how small adjustments can drastically cut seconds off a run. Released in early 2024 by Something Something Games, it leans into a minimalist art style that keeps the focus on movement. While short, the single-player campaign offers enough replayability for those chasing perfection.
