In the dark and forgotten year of 18xx, an ancient evil rises once more...

You are Montana: 50% Belmonte, 50% De la Cruz, 100% pixelated 2D hero.

Face relentless monsters, treacherous traps, and nightmarish bosses in this retro-inspired action-platformer. Explore haunted forests, forbidden cities, and ancient temples in your quest to seal away Anatnom, the torment of Oromana.

Inspired by some old classics you might have heard of, this game blends not-so-bad pixel art, smooth and fair controls, along with a royalty-free soundtrack to deliver an old-school challenge with a modern touch. 

No loot boxes. No DLC. No mercy. Only pain. (And maybe some bugs that shouldn't be there)

Hope you enjoy it!

-------Español:

En el oscuro y olvidado año 18xx, un antiguo mal ha vuelto a despertar...

Eres Montana: 50% Belmonte, 50% De la Cruz, 100% héroicos píxeles en 2D.

Enfréntate a monstruos implacables, trampas traicioneras y jefes de pesadilla en este juego de acción y plataformas con regusto retro. Explora bosques embrujados, ciudades prohibidas y templos ancestrales en tu misión de sellar a Anatnom, el tormento de Oromana.

Inspirado en algunos clásicos que quizá te suenen, este juego mezcla pixel art “no tan malo”, un control responsivo y justo, así como una banda sonora libre de derechos para ofrecer un desafío de la vieja escuela con un toque moderno.

Sin loot boxes. Sin DLC. Sin piedad. Solo dolor. (Y quizá algún bug que no debería estar ahí).


¡Espero que lo disfrutes!

If possible, I would add some simple scanline effects for a flat CRT, or scanlines for a curved CRT, and separately the option to enable or disable CRT blur and flicker. After several minutes of gameplay, it becomes bothersome.

Thanks for the feedback!

You can actually disable the CRT scanlines anytime while playing — just pause the game (ESC, or the Back button on an Xbox controller), go to the Retro option, and turn it off.

In the future I might add different scanline styles or intensity levels so players can tweak the effect to their liking. It isn't a bad idea at all!

Hello . 

Very interesting your game.In addition to the Linux and Windows version, in the future you also expect a version for Apple with Apple silicone processors?

Hey, thanks for the comment!

I don’t have a Mac myself, so while I could probably compile a macOS build, I wouldn’t be able to test it properly :/

However, you could probably run the Windows version with Wine , so that might be worth a try!
