Our take on Dark Sauce
The focus on straightforward platforming and hazard navigation leaves less room for broader exploration, character abilities, or varied combat systems.
What is Dark Sauce?
Dark Sauce is a cubic platformer set in dungeons inhabited by unusual creatures and guarded by an ancient dragon.
Players control a small pig without special powers while navigating challenging levels, dangerous traps, monsters, and mountains of gold. The game uses voxel-based 3D visuals with a retro-inspired presentation. Its structure centers on progressing through the levels and reaching the dragon that protects the treasure. Gamepad input is supported.
