The Ramsey

About

The Ramsey tasks you with guiding a squad of adorable squirrels through a series of interconnected islands filled with traps and enemies. Each level requires swapping between characters whose special weapons, like slingshots and acorn bombs, unlock new paths. Platforming sections mix precise jumping with environmental puzzles, while light RPG elements let you upgrade abilities to tackle tougher obstacles. The colorful 2D world hides secrets behind every tree stump and rock formation. The game’s charm comes from its tight level design and the way weapon mechanics force creative thinking. Players on Switch and PC have noted the controls feel responsive across all platforms, though some found late-game puzzles overly punishing. With over 10 hours of exploration and a story about thwarting alien invaders, it’s a cozy yet challenging pick for fans of Metroidvania-style progression. The Ramsey launched in April 2023 and remains a hidden gem in the indie platformer scene.
