About
Juan had it all— a vibrant world, a best friend named Greg, and an adventure waiting to unfold. But after a fateful encounter with a grumpy Dinosaur, he’s been cast down into the prototype version of his own game! Now trapped in a 1-bit world of unfinished code and forgotten assets, Juan must fight, platform, and puzzle his way back to where he belongs.
Switch between two distinct art styles—gritty 1-bit and polished 16-bit—as you uncover the secrets of the Prototype Realm. Use your whip, shield, and quick reflexes to survive enemy encounters, traverse treacherous environments, and collect the keys needed to escape this digital purgatory.
Can Juan reclaim his adventure, or is he doomed to remain a half-finished idea?
NOTE: Optimized for Steam Deck — runs smoothly at 60 FPS with default Proton settings.

Fantastic little platformer.
small and cute platformer, not too difficult
Short, sweet, and really solid precision-platformer with a great concept, execution, and style and good mechanics. The precision gets a little too precise on the last 2 levels, but otherwise no complaints.
A very strong debut game from an indie dev. Overall the concept is refreshing and well thought. for a Debut game it definitely has its quirks and some shortcomings, but it is a good time and not altogether all that long.
Awesome game!
This is an excellent if challenging indie platformer! Highly recommended for those wanting to support solo devs and play a great game in the process!
Very fun game and appreciated the level to level progression on how the environment continued to add more variables in addition to the blending back into the 16-bit world
Great little game! Good platforming, well thought out design and a fun, short run time.
Fun, short, platformer. Has a cool story premise. The controls were a little floaty for my taste but that didn't ruin my enjoyment.
Played on OG Steam Deck without issues. Fun little game that is too chatty for its own good, annoyingly so and I almost quit the game over it but I enddd up liking it. Really hated agency being taken from no often for some dumb text. Still recommend
