What is Pankapu?
Pankapu is a 2D action platformer set in the dreams of a child troubled by a tragic event. You move through levels, fight invading Nightmares, unlock abilities, and switch between Aegis forms. A darker account of the child's life runs alongside the dream-world tale.

- +you like gaining abilities and switching forms during play
- +you want a fable with a darker story underneath
Not for you if...
