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.
Controller highly recommended. Click inside the game window before playing and make sure to go fullscreen.

Master The Ball
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.
One Screen, One Challenge
Each floor is a focused platforming level designed to be understood quickly and replayed instantly. Players can study the room, plan their route, make an attempt, and retry within seconds.
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.
Simple to Learn, Hard to Master
The controls are easy to understand, but mastering the ball takes skill. Floor 99 is designed for players who enjoy short, challenging levels, fast restarts, and platforming mechanics that reward practice.
