Our take on Barold

The bounce point arrives at the first sustained combination of tricky jumps and projectile-dodging. Players who can manage individual platforming challenges but dislike alternating movement precision with bullet-hell pressure may find the difficulty spike there, before the boss fights add another demanding layer.

What is Barold?

Barold is a 2D platformer set in a medieval fantasy story.

Players control Barold, a knight searching for Gothmog, a demon who was once his friend. Progress involves difficult jumps, projectile-dodging sections, boss encounters, hidden routes, Easter eggs, and rooms. Weapons, armor with different statistics, and double jumping support movement and combat. The game offers Normal and Hard modes; Normal is intended for casual players, while Hard adds further challenges. Its presentation includes cartoon-style graphics, a soundtrack, and a 1:1 format.
