You are the Valarii, a tribe that races down an ancient mountain path in the world of Mithem with very special movement mechanics to save the world from a threatening infestation. Play alone or as a couch co-op with your friends.

You play as a small cannon hatched from an egg, traveling through the forest, learning new skills, making friends, and uncovering their true potential in this fast-paced and cinematic Metroidvania.
