About Unbound

As a wrongfully imprisoned monkey, you break out. Navigate through a hazardous, futuristic city to escape your pursuer and reach an off-world colony.Unbound is a 2D precision-platformer game originally made in 13 weeks by Primal Crowd, 13 students at The Game Assembly in Malmö.

Features

  • Precise Movement: Jump, Climb and Dash your way through 3 tricky levels filled with handcrafted precision-platforming challenges.
  • You're Being Chased: The prison guard you escaped from just can't let you go! Outrun your pursuer and escape the planet.
  • Retro Sci-Fi Aesthetic: Take in the views or just vibe. From an underground prison, to a dystopian city and a high-tech spaceport there's a little bit of everything to look at.
  • Go Bananas: Want more challenge? Every level is filled with optional even trickier trials to overcome. Be rewarded with bananas for your skill. Can you collect them all...?
  • See The Result Of Your Effort: The game keeps track of your time, bananas collected and death count. After each run of the game you'll see these displayed and the time be compared to your personal best. Enable the build-in speedrun timer to help you set a new best time.

    2 BIG cons.... classics like ninja gaiden perfected wall jumps and this could benefit from that, i hate trying to jump further up wall instinctively and he jumps out opposite direction and i got a few scenes into the section where the guard is chasing, got frustrated, took a break went back in thinking i could go back to place i was and had to start from beginning, so i guess when i play i'l have to leave game running until i get thruogh whole level, and that sux PROS: still super fun, love aesthetics and atmosphere and i get the Cowboy Bebop refrence for the title of the third level and that is cool, all in all, it's a free game which they easily could have charged for, i like it tho yeah id love to see the wall jumping tweaked and saving between levels but hey otherwise super cool litttle precision platformer

    A really lovely Celeste inspired game. Not nearly as hard but it was a short and fun platforming experience.

    The platforming felt really nice and the chase mechanic was a neat added layer that made it feel a bit like a puzzle game. I had a lot of fun collecting all the hidden bananas.
    Not recommended Mar 13, 2026
    Hard to call this a precision platformer when the movement anything but precise. At least let the player adjust the sensitivity of the controls. I recognize that the game is free, but all i got out of it was frustration.

    Pretty good game, although it is Celeste off of wish.com
