Palino

Palino is a screen-based platformer currently in development. The game features a unique twist on classic platforming: the player carries a throwable ball that they can bounce off of to reach new areas and overcome obstacles. Each level is built around this mechanic, creating short, focused challenges that test timing, aim, and movement skill as the player climbs higher through the building.

Precision is key. Climb higher through challenging floors by throwing your ball, bouncing off it, and using it to reach places you could never jump to alone.

Built Around One Mechanic

Every level is designed around the ball. Some floors test precise throws, others focus on bounce timing, creative movement, or avoiding hazards. As the player climbs higher, the game introduces harder layouts that push the mechanic further.
