About NOT the Hero
.PRESENTING! NOT the hero... Yes, you are not the hero in this story, neither are you the right guy. but you will be doing it anyway!
This game is really silly, but loads of fun and has loads of Easter eggs, You play as you, a loser, you are the wrong guy for the job but a giant squid God has forced you onto an adventure which will leave you going 'Huh?' the whole way through!
Throw rocks. blow stuff up with grenades! even shoot lasers and lock on plasma bolts as you gain abilities the further on you play. Each zone has a end boss waiting for you too!
The controls are that of your typical platformer, jump, double jump, wall jump, shoot lasers!
An awesome adventure awaits!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
NOT the Hero is a challenging 2D platformer with intentionally crude humor and visuals that some players find amusing while others find off-putting, paired with fast-paced gameplay and a memorable soundtrack. The game's difficulty is deliberately punishing and its aesthetic is deliberately low-quality, making it a divisive experience that appeals primarily to players who enjoy absurdist indie games rather than polished, traditional platformers.
Not the Hero is an indie 2D platformer game where you have to clear every level to progress to the final boss. I didn't find the game funny, nor challenging, nor enjoyable. The gameplay is average, the controls are clunky, the jokes are silly, the artwork is low quality. Overall, not recommended. 2/10.6 found this helpful
