About Haiki
\
Haiki is a diamond-hard platformer that rewards skilful play and punishes errors MERCILESSLY. Dive head-first into four worlds of colour-switching, laser-dodging, lightning-fast action.
You control Haiki's severed head, on an epic journey to defeat the slash-happy Baron Nohead. Leap from wall-to-wall, across chasms, over spikes... into oblivion. You’ll need precision jumps and keen reactions to survive the 80 hand-crafted levels standing between Haiki and victory.
Die, die and die again until your reflexes are sharp enough to face the headless Baron and get your body back.
Or lose your head forever.
Want to get ahead? Get a hat! Collect dapper, dashing and dandy hats on your journey up from the gutter. How do the hats help Haiki on his quest?
They don't. AT ALL.
They're just hats.

Overall, a fun platformer that starts easy and progressively gets harder. It was a challenge for my head at certain points but it was rewarding. It seems like a simple game and continually gets more challenging and adds more components to remember. Its a fun game!3 found this helpful
I loved the game up until the color swapping.2 found this helpful
Haiki is a fiercely focused precision platformer that wears its difficulty as a badge of honor and builds its entire identity around mastery through repetition. Developed by Richard Hörnig and published by Application Systems Heidelberg, the game introduces itself with a darkly humorous premise in which the protagonist is literally reduced to a severed head, forced to bounce, jump, and wall-climb through hostile environments in order to reclaim what was lost. This absurd setup immediately establishes the tone: Haiki is self-aware, slightly irreverent, and unapologetically committed to challenging the player at every turn. At its core, Haiki is all about movement purity. Controls are sharp, responsive, and deliberately unforgiving, demanding exact timing and precise execution. Every jump, wall bounce, and directional adjustment must be intentional, as the game offers very little margin for error. Hazards such as spikes, lasers, crushing traps, and instant-death falls are placed with surgical intent, ensuring that progress comes not from luck but from understanding patterns and refining muscle memory. Death is frequent and expected, yet respawns are fast enough to keep frustration f…
Neat controls and good looking but not confusing style :)
Es tan preciso que deje de jugarlo, al nivel 60 se vuelve injugable y pasa a ser frustrante... ponen saltos casi imposibles que solo aquel que quiera pasar horas resolviendo un solo nivel lo va a hacer, no es mi caso porque soy mas casual y me gusta un juego de plataformas que sea justo... asi y todo lo recomiendo porque es interesante, no propone nada nuevo pero lo hace bien como plataformero de precision La historia y el arte de la historia bastante pobre, los dibujos grotescos y parecen hechos por un nene de 5 años... no me dieron ganas de seguir la historia porque es demasiado plana he encontrado algunos bugs que son un poco molestos, como el estar bajo el agua y que las mecanicas del salto fuera como si no estuviera bajo el agua, lo que me hace reiniciar el nivel
This is a mix of Super meat boy and Celeste: many times I see the level and I actually have to think what to do, then it's a matter of execution, which is anyway really hard!! Buy this game if you like to get rewarded after suffering
