Marmotta: Mountain Brawler

A marmot. A red scarf. A whole mountain to climb… and far beyond.

Marmotta is a pixel-art beat 'em up. Summer is ending in the Alps when the Giant Eagle raids the burrow and steals the family's whole winter stock of dandelions, just to make himself a cushion for his nap. An opening scene sets you off, an ending waits at the summit, and an old peddler always has something to say. On the way: foxes, boars, eagles, ibexes, zombies, robots, wolves, dinosaurs and mummies. Chain punches into an uppercut, land flying kicks and bounce off heads; grab a foe, two knee strikes, and throw it into the pack; slide under attacks, dive-bomb from the air, roll into an invincible ball, parry at the right moment, and unleash the marmot's alarm whistle. Pick up a shepherd's staff, a sling, a bell, pine cones or tomatoes.

Fifteen levels, each with its own twist: the meadow, the larch forest, the torrent and its floating logs, the scree, the glacier in a blizzard, the stormy summit, then the lab of zombie marmots, the city and its traffic, the city at night, the Underworld and its rising lava, the Frozen Peak, the Moon, where you jump twice as high, Prehistory, with its tar pits, raptor eggs and volcano, and Ancient Egypt, with its mummies, quicksand and dart traps. Ten bosses to figure out, from the Great Bear to the Mummy Pharaoh. Three stars and a hidden gem in every level, a challenge per level with a scarf to win, 30 achievements, endless survival, a daily challenge and a boss rush against the Bear, the Eagle, the T. rex and the Pharaoh. Spend your flowers at the peddler's stall on hats, flair and a starting weapon, grow your skill tree, and meet Noisette, the red squirrel who double-jumps. HD pixel art, music played on real instrument samples, touch buttons you can move and resize or a Bluetooth controller, on Easy, Normal or Hard. No ads, no account, and it plays offline: the whole adventure is free, and the peddler's Treasures are optional in-app purchases.
