Application software download free Windows

Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries is an action puzzle platformer that challenges players in the most unique way. This hardcore 2D game features a psychologically maddening level design, original boss fights and atmospheric music.

The story begins when our not so heroic hero Robbie is summoned into a temple by a little spirit and tasked with retrieving three parts of the Orb of Mystery. Seeing as this temple is full of treasure, Robbie jumps at the opportunity, although things are not quite what they seem.

Players must guide Robbie through a series of levels, avoiding deadly traps, swinging axes, electric fireballs and flamethrowers. Using a variety of jumping and crouching skills, players must maneuver their hero to the exit.

Each level is designed to deceive, outsmart or surprise the player in a psychologically maddening way. Featuring a unique graphical style, retro-styled graphics and upbeat soundtrack, the game has become a fan favorite and was one of the most played games at every event Pixel Reign showcased it in during 2018.

With a strong focus on fun, and a challenging gameplay that will test even the most experienced players, this is a must have for anyone who loves hardcore platformers. Every time Robbie dies he interacts with his surroundings and shows different facial expressions, this is an example of how the designers have gone the extra mile to make the game feel alive.
