About this game

Verdigris is a 2D action platformer built around movement. You wake in a forest that swallowed an entire civilisation and climb through courtyards, overgrown halls, a canopy, speed gardens, a wind-driven spire and the Heart itself. Behind it waits a glass cleft, and beyond that a lava forge, an ice peak and a swamp. Relics unlock a double jump, dash, grappling hook, wall-run, flyroll and glide, and every region adds a new toy: zip rails, wind columns, bumper chains, speed strips, dash crystals, mushroom springs, a floating-gravity field, a rhythm bridge of phasing platforms, lava geysers, crumbling floors, slippery ice and swimming. Fights are short and feed your movement: dashing, sliding, rolling, hooking and diving into enemies hurts them, while the staff and the pogo bounce on orange pads and enemies keep your flow going. Six bosses, shortcut doors and a tunnel that open once you earn them, shrines that save and fast-travel, a map that fills in as you explore, and a procedural soundtrack with a theme for every region. Collect shards and chests for extra hearts, race the ghost of your best time on six time trials for bronze, silver and gold, take on ring challenges, and start New Game+ after the credits. Rebind your keys in the options. Keyboard and mouse or gamepad, no touch controls. Controls: A/D move, Space jump, Shift dash, E or right mouse hook, J or left mouse attack, Ctrl slide and roll, M map, P pause.
