The New Year is here and so is Mateusz Skutnik's traditional game!!
The style of the game is platform/action and our well known gnome in a red cap - seems that he got a new one with parachute features - needs to overcome many dangerous levels with sharp spikes everywhere and even minefields! The mines are sensitive to the slightest movement, they are fast with a big radius of explosion, and on top of all equipped with a laser sighting device so sometimes is the gnome dead immediately after entering the level. Poor gnome makes a small sad sound...and here we go again, the revived gnome stands at the start of the same level...you're trying to observe the situation...quick quick...boom! BOOM! The small sad sound...etc.
Quite simply, this platformer is tough. It is also very beautiful both visually and auditorily. Mateusz Skutnik's games are art, no doubt, and he's getting better and better.
Can you find 2020? It's lovely. I hope 2020 will worth the effort.
Enjoy!

In Windows 7, cannot fire to the right. Only RIGHT CTRL fires (not the "0" key) and you need to fire to the right, so I am stuck after several levels. And this games slows down my PC, so it is memory-taxing/intensive. Cool game otherwise.
As shown on the controls screen (or during the tutorial), Q and E are valid left/right fire keys.
Somehow on my first playthrough I didn't realize that I could shoot towards the right, but the game is still completable without it. Shoot-right solutions seem to be shorter but more technical, except for a couple of levers that are slightly easier to access that way.
