Pinball, platforming, and golf combine in Puzzling Peaks EXE, a hilariously mind-bending physics puzzle game about a spherical hero named Knightly, a highly confident administrator named Jasmin, and a quirky, artificially intelligent guide named A.I.D.E. INNOVATIVE STORYTELLING The unique recipe for storytelling that handed us several industry accolades is refined and expanded upon to craft a memorable tale for Puzzling Peaks EXE. We use a combination of stunning pixel art, music, and unique narrative techniques to paint a charming postmodern story that will keep players intrigued and entertained until the end. 100+ HANDCRAFTED CHALLENGES This game features a distinct gameplay mechanic: our hero cannot move on his own, so you’ll have to rotate platforms and manipulate environments to launch him around a beautiful 16-bit world. You'll need logic, brainpower, quick reflexes, and unconditional trust in A.I.D.E. to pass more than a hundred highly polished levels. You’ll be surprised that it doesn’t get old. INTENTIONAL AND UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY Our testers have been enjoying some of the game’s philosophical jokes, and moments that weren’t meant to be jokes. NO ADS AND NO IN-APP PURCHASES Buy once and play it forever. You can spend the rest of your life just playing this game if you really want to. POSSIBLY SPOOKY This game may contain horror elements and digital beings that could scare you. Given the history of our games, it wouldn’t surprise us anymore.
