About Pankapu

✦ AI summary

Guide Pankapu through the dream world of a troubled child, fighting nightmares with upgradeable skills and real-time Aegis-switching combat in this neo-retro platformer. Uncover two interwoven stories—one a whimsical fable and the other a darker tale of the child's real-world trauma, told through gorgeous 90s-style pixel art.

Jump into a neo-retro adventure with Pankapu : a taste of 90’s platformers in an oneiric world. Pankapu is a narrative action-platformer that takes place in the dreams of Djaha’rell, a child troubled by a tragic incident. Upgrade your skills, find new competencies, switch your Aegis in real time in order to get rid of Nightmare's invasion: "Fight for the safety of your land, dear Dreamkeeper"

Told in the manner of a fable read to a child, the game has two levels of reading: the tale of Pankapu, epic and naïve, and the one about Djaha’rell's life, in the real-world, dark and tragic.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Pankapu receives mixed feedback from players, with some praising its challenging boss fights and progressive difficulty, while others criticize unresponsive and inconsistent controls—particularly the jumping mechanics—that undermine the platforming experience. The game is also faulted for basic, repetitive enemy design and a tedious introduction, leaving players divided on whether the engaging combat and difficulty curve justify these technical and design issues.

The intro was tedious. The gameplay is basic . I played for fifteen minutes and I killed a bunch of these black blobs that are just dumb. And there was only one other type of mob . Boring

This is a rather mediocre example of a platforming game. The main problem with the game is the controls, in particular the jumping controls. So many times I would attempt to make a jump, only to frequently perform "short" jumps that are nigh-useless. The same exact input seems to sometimes give me a full jump and other times the short jump, and there does not seem to be a clear indication within the game as to why. I switched controllers thinking that my main controller might have been defective, but that changed nothing. The other controls feel like butt as well. I probably would better tolerate all else if it wasn't for the fact that I was left unable to reliably perform one of the biggest key aspects of a platforming game: jumping. I didn't even get to the point where I got to play as Pankapu's other forms because the idea of going through an *entire* platforming game with these awful jumping controls? Yeah, no thanks. If you want an alternative to this game that controls far better and is thus a much better game, go pick up Nine Sols. Team Cherry has a couple of well revered platformers also, that you very likely have heard of already. But I cannot vouch for those since I hav…

Unresponsive controlls. Button mapping randomly changes during gameplay. Nothing special even if it worked.
