I finished this game yesterday. And I liked it! Despite the simple idea and style, that's what really got me hooked. The game itself is not difficult (except for the last level...) and that's why it's quite fun to go through it. And there are a lot of references in it, which are very cool to notice. All in all, it's a short and enjoyable game.

About This Game
Horoscopicus is a game inspired by 2D platformers from a certain incredibly well known portable console from the 90s!
Play as Horo in this 2D Retro platformer and try your best to collect the 12 zodiac signs (AND PET THE SECRET ANIMALS) so that you may unlock the door to the mysterious 13th zodiac!


While I got some help during development, expect a more "traditional indie" quality to the game! :)
Nonetheless, I hope you manage to enjoy it regardless!
