About
Janosik is a retro action-platformer metroidvania. It's fast-paced, challenging, and full of secrets to discover while exploring its big and interconnected world.
The game is completely FREE and with no microtransactions!
Janosik's companions were captured by the evil Count Von Zur and it’s up to you to find and rescue them from the prison. Explore hand-drawn pixel art world, find secrets, jump over deadly obstacles, roll and attack enemies, collect gold coins and find upgrades.
Janosik gives you about 2 hours of single-player retro platforming fun.
Janosik was a legendary Slovak highlander rogue. According to the legend, he robbed nobles and gave the loot to the poor, just like Robin Hood. The game is based on popular legends in which Janosik had special magical items given to him (usually) by witches. Those items gave him superhuman strength, protected him from bullets, or gave him the ability to jump over the trees. In some legends, Janosik fights with supernatural beings.
We took inspiration from the legends both for this game and the upcoming Janosik 2, and highly recommend that you read more about this hero if you enjoyed playing our retro platformer.
Please note that the Slovakian language version is available in the game’s main menu.

Great game. It has a nice art style, the story is pretty good. It has some issues, of course, like the dialogue being strangely written sometimes, the movement doesn't feel as refined as some other platformers and there are some bugs, but it's a really good game overall, especially since it's free. I think even if it wasn't free, I still wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
Sono un appasionato di giochi metroidvania e non mi sono lasciato scappare questo piccolo giochino gratuito. L'ho trovato molto divertente e semplice nei comandi, con la possibilità di sbloccare nuovi potenziamenti e raccogliere una serie di collezionabili. La grafica semplice anche se avrei preferito qualcosa di più elaborato, mentre il livello di difficoltà l'ho trovato forse un pò troppo basso, soprattutto contro i boss.
