About Janosik
Janosik is a retro action-platformer metroidvania. It's fast-paced, challenging, and full of secrets to discover while exploring its big and interconnected world.The game is completely FREE and with no microtransactions!
Janosik's companions were captured by the evil Count Von Zur and it’s up to you to find and rescue them from the prison. Explore hand-drawn pixel art world, find secrets, jump over deadly obstacles, roll and attack enemies, collect gold coins and find upgrades.
Janosik gives you about 2 hours of single-player retro platforming fun.
Janosik was a legendary Slovak highlander rogue. According to the legend, he robbed nobles and gave the loot to the poor, just like Robin Hood. The game is based on popular legends in which Janosik had special magical items given to him (usually) by witches. Those items gave him superhuman strength, protected him from bullets, or gave him the ability to jump over the trees. In some legends, Janosik fights with supernatural beings.
We took inspiration from the legends both for this game and the upcoming Janosik 2, and highly recommend that you read more about this hero if you enjoyed playing our retro platformer.
Please note that the Slovakian language version is available in the game’s main menu.For gamepad configuration support, please visit this forum thread.

Suprisingly good metroidvania-style platformer. Challenging at times, but never punishing. Great level design, fun boss fights, and a charming visual style and music, all wrapped in light, genuinely enjoyable gameplay.2 found this helpful
Amazing platformer! The control are a little weird, but not hard to get used to. There is one place where it is possible to get hard locked and completely have to restart. Overall a very fun experience, especially since its a completely free game, 9/101 found this helpful
A short but fun platformer! Really enjoyed this one. It's especially great for a free game. I'm trying to figure out a final couple secrets before completing it so my 5 hours at time of writing is a thorough clearing for someone of mid skills. Fun and silly. Give it a go! (Oh and anyone you can talk to, talk to them multiple times. Even after they sell you something. I made this game quite a bit harder than I needed to...I did say mid skills...)
Light recommend, for a free game, not that bad. Took me about 2 hours 45. For the most part it's fair. A few times I got hit by something off screen, otherwise, solid first effort considering it costs nothing.
The game is good. It's fast-paced. It's fun and simple.
Janosik is pure fun. It's not perfect, slightly jank movement, regular enemies take 1-4 hits which breaks your rhythm, tanky bosses and occasional slowdown. But the level design is great and the pixel art is charming. Amazing value for the price of free
