[Speer]

About

You play as a character who wields a spiked tool called a Speer to navigate tricky platforming levels. Throw the Speer into walls to create temporary platforms, fling it at pressure plates to unlock paths, or smash enemies in the head with it. Each level lets you upgrade the Speer with new abilities that change how you approach puzzles. The game leans into its goofy premise with physics-based challenges that often require equal parts precision and brute force. The charm comes from its absurd simplicity and the way it leans into its own limitations. While the 30 levels get repetitive by the end, the early ones feel fresh and inventive. A small but dedicated community still discusses optimal strategies online. If you like thinking through environmental puzzles with a tool that’s part grappling hook, part hammer, this has a niche appeal. The original developers have moved on to bigger projects but left this one as a quirky time capsule of 2017 indie experimentation.
