What is Hardcore and Death?
This single-player platformer takes place in a world where the Glowing Tree is fading, and you must reach the Heart before its light goes out. You run and double-jump through multi-tiered levels, dodging spikes, collapsing platforms, and flying blades. Checkpoints sit only before especially dangerous sections.
