Embark on an exciting 2D adventure under the ocean! In this puzzle-heavy game, where we manage a magical and unusual whale, we not only overcome obstacles by jumping, but also create our own path by positioning your dead bodies at the right points.

Determine your own strategy through trial and error and try to finish the level as fast as possible!

Enter the tricky pixel art dungeons of Betomis, where you’ll need to carefully observe and explore your surroundings in order to escape! Betomis is a retro 2D action platformer where each chamber of the sprawling dungeon is a single screen of environmental puzzling. Light is limited. Weapons are scarce. But deadly hazards are aplenty, from spikes and spinning saw blades to creatures and carnivorous plants!

Take the role of a valiant knight as you creep through the corners of each maze-like dungeon, picking up an axe and shield to defeat foes that stand in your way, hopping on the heads of monsters when you’re disarmed and locating keys to open the door to the next chamber, each more challenging than the one before. Use double jumps to avoid traps and reach obscured platforms. But don’t worry too much… If you do fall victim to the dungeon’s many perils, you’ll instantly restart at the last door, allowing you to try as many times as it takes!

Evil Magic has stricken the mermaids’ land and swallowed their beautiful castle whole! Embark on a challenging journey to discover the secret of Evil Magic. Fight, solve puzzles, collect coins, and use special abilities. Ava, Luna, and Nixie are counting on your help once again!

When the mermaid sisters returned home from a trip, they had an unpleasant surprise. An Evil Magic Vortex appeared out of nowhere, literally devouring their castle! The sisters immediately went to seek the Wise Octopus’s advice. But their friend didn’t have good news either. Someone had stolen valuable scrolls from her library!

As it turned out, that was just the beginning of the trouble... Who is behind all this?

To unravel this mystery, you will embark with Ava, Luna, and Nixie on an exciting journey through brand new lands. Some of the places you’ll visit include dark, undersea depths, a marshy river with the remains of ships, the frosty surroundings of a glacier, sunken cities and temples, and even the palace of the Ruler of the Seas and Oceans himself - Neptune!

Get ready! There are plenty of challenges and puzzles waiting for you in each land. Scary marine creatures, hostile fish, and anemones that shoot poisonous bubbles are lurking everywhere, while sharp anchors and thorny plants are just waiting to hurt the careless traveler. Your path will often be blocked by planks, rock blocks, or closed gates, which will open only after you’ve found and pulled the right levers.

Cunning, speed, and magic will be your weapons. Each of the sisters can shoot magic projectiles and each has a special magic ability, so switching between the characters will be essential during your journey. The map is also helpful as well as the encyclopedia, which precisely describes all the plants, enemies, and obstacles you will come across on the way.

Let’s not forget about the castle! The Wise Octopus has offered to help rebuild it, but she’ll need building materials and paints... and those are expensive! So collect coins, free precious starfish from cages, and find keys that open chests full of treasure. And once you’ve gathered all those riches, spend them on the next castle parts and buy paints to paint the castle roofs and walls.
Make the mermaid castle more beautiful than ever!

Enjoy the chaotic competition alone or with your friends. Up-to 60 online players in a showdown party and only one who can get the victory. Play as Brokkoli to activate the traps or avoid them as a juicy food and win the rounds.

SAVE THE MYTHICAL WORLD
Play as RIN, the last child of the Creator, on a journey to restore order in a mystical world. Collect aspects and runes, craft spells, and confront powerful bosses - your transformed siblings. The fate of the world rests in your hands.

DRIVE A STOR INSPIRED BY MYTHS
The story of RIN, her siblings, and their Creator, the Teller of Tales, was inspired by the well-known ancient myth about Cronus and his conflict with his children. It also touches upon the overall passing of gods who must be replaced by new gods. The creation myths seemed to match perfectly Metroidvania's dark fairy tale - no trace of man, but the importance of magic. An important motif and another layer of the script is the conflict between being obedient to authority - the father (the Creator) or freedom - the free will and responsibility for oneself and one's decisions. The story offers three possible endings based on your choices.

REKINDLE YOUR MAGIC
There are 18 elemental spells from three categories: attack (10), defense (5), and utility (3). The spells are created of Aspects of Magic (5) and Spell Patterns. Then, they can be enchanted with a currency by Lesser Runes (adding more damage) or upgraded by an upgrade scheme and Great Runes (changing the effect). The quick slot allows assigning 3 spells at a time but gives an option to quickly swap to another spell set. Mathematically, considering the combination of Lesser Runes, Great Runes, and Upgrades, there are as many as 7776 spells variants. As you progress, the spells can be disassembled in order to use the aspects components for another assembly.

FIGHT DEADLY MONSTERS AND BOSSES
On your exploration journey, you will fight many small creatures formed from their locations such as Slimes, Mosquitoes, but also bigger creepy beasts like Rats or Spitting Plants. The main fights though, will not only require a neat set of spells and skills but most importantly the decisions to take based on your will. As RIN, the sixth child of the Creator, you will confront five bosses - your unknown siblings.
