Our take on Enso
The defining structure is the possibility of losing substantial progress through a fall, sending the climb back toward its starting point and making recovery part of the core challenge.
What is Enso?
Enso is a precision platformer set in a minimalist, Japanese-inspired landscape.
Players propel Enso upward with a slingshot, using launches, bounces, sticking, and spinning to navigate parkour challenges. Physics-based movement and mouse controls shape the climb, while falling can send the character back down and require another attempt from the beginning. New movement techniques appear as progress continues. The music changes with gameplay, and the game supports mouse and keyboard controls as well as gamepads, with mouse and keyboard recommended. Its structure centers on repeated attempts, recovering after falls, and mastering the route toward the top.
