Our take on iota
The store presentation stresses an exceptional platforming challenge, while the concrete scope is 36 levels built around one movement system. The absence of power-ups, abilities, and boss fights makes the experience more focused than the broad challenge language suggests.
What is iota?
iota is a hardcore precision platformer built around movement without a jump button.
The character bounces up and down, left and right, while progressing through 36 levels and attempting to reach each next trial. The game has no power-ups, special abilities, or boss fights. It also has no game-over state. A soundtrack accompanies the platforming challenges.
