Join Leif on his Adventure to save his fellow plants! The evil robots are trying to destroy nature and must be stopped! With his trusty axe, Leif will punish his enemies, and save Nature!

A love letter to the NES Mega Man games, this is a very challenging action platformer, with a melee axe attack, and also (distance-limited) charge projectile, as well as special weapons to acquire from each of the (2) bosses!

Thanks to Input by jujuadams and offalynne virtually any controller is plug'n'play! Keyboard controls are there as well (space to jump, c to shoot), but controller highly recommended.

crazy how polished games like these slip under the radar

Thank you! We thought it was pretty good. So much so we're (slowly) working on a full version. Feel free to follow me on Twitter, I'll share more about it as we have news. :)

1.4 is truly post-jam with some improvements including a better fire weapon sprite, and one special palette swap spot... ;)

1.3* has slight tweaks, mostly to make it more fair, but I couldn't in good conscience replace the earlier bugfix version, since the adjustments were made after the jam period. That said, if you want a better experience, and especially if you've already rated 1.1, feel free to play 1.3*! :)

Game-breaking bug at the weapon get screen, hotfix coming soon! Sorry everyone.

EDIT: fixed and uploaded as "1.1", if you had issues please download this version instead. thanks!
