About This Game

Important Note:

As a creative decision, this game does not have a save feature. Therefore, if you exit the game and start again later, it will return to the beginning. However, the risk is low due to the short length of the game and checkpoints that respawn you in case of death. Please remember this to avoid playing vainly.

Story:

The Blue Protagonist is imprisoned and tortured in a small cell by three characters:

• The Real Pain, the prison's boss who is red and has mustache.

• The Biggest Vain, a giant and mysterious knight who prevents prisoners from escaping.

• The Smallest Stain, a psychopath who enjoys killing others with a shotgun.

But suddenly, the door opens and now the only thing he wants is vengeance.

Help him exit his cell and jump over the obstacles on his way to find and kill everyone who has made him suffer.
