What do you think?

Absolutely 10/10, from the visuals to the music, not forgetting the story. I loved the chase in the third act, and how we defeated the torch man with a simple rock! I can't wait to see more! (No pressure)

I had seen this game months ago and it had surprised me with its visuals, but I didn't see much of it until a few days ago, where, apart from seeing how beautiful the world of this game is, I also saw more of its frenetic gameplay. Without a doubt, this is a game that, when it finally gets released, will be a complete gem!

Please let us turn off the controller vibration in the demo. I have wrist pains and controller vibrations exacerbate them, especially when they're constant or frequent. :(

a música foi feita por Mozart?? está muito liiindaaaaaaa

I'm buying this day 1, amazing job

ARTIUS: Pure Imagination is a fast-paced, momentum-based 2D platformer where you play as distinct artists with unique abilities, battling to preserve creativity in a world on the verge of artistic extinction! Dash, swing, and smash your way through a vibrant, hand-drawn world in this adrenaline-fueled platformer where style is your strongest weapon.

Rupestrine was a city renowned for its rich artistic history. The city earned its name thanks to the discovery of some of the oldest archaeological sites in the region, filled with cave paintings, petroglyphs, and other forms of rock art. Over time, this deep artistic heritage transformed the city into a cultural hub, attracting musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, and all those involved in the fine arts. It was the home of our heroes: Pierre the Painter, Walter the Photographer, René The Musician and Guga The Dancer. They all studied at Rupestrine's EdAN Art University and lived fun, artistic lives.

One day, a jealous student named PIVOLO, envious of their talent and beloved by none, seized control of the mystical and magical ARTIUS book and imposed an anti-art regime over the city of Rupestrine, reshaping it according to his rigid and oppressive vision. As Pivolo’s tyranny spreads, society begins to question the value of art itself, forgetting its power to inspire, heal, and bring people together. It falls upon four heroes: each wielding their own unique creative abilities to challenge this bleak new reality!
