Drizzel

You are a single drop of water.

You fall alone, descending through ancient caves where deep stone walls close in and consume every sign of hope. Every obstacle is a threat. Every passage forward is merely a small step. Drizzel is a two-dimensional platformer about something small finding its way through a place that was never built for it.

Notice

When launching the macOS app, you might see an error stating that our game is malware. This is a false positive, as Drizzel is not signed by Apple (which costs $99/year to do).  ;

To play the macOS version of the game, download it through the itch.io client or open pen Settings > Privacy and Securityity and select Open Anyway to allow Drizzel to run.

Tools Used
