About This Game

Play as Hidalgo, the last free Bladewing, on a quest to save your corrupted friends and take down the twisted Crow Sorcerer, Omega Wing.
The world of Judanest is unraveling, poisoned by Meza, and broken by betrayal. You awaken after two years, bound to an eternal tree and armed with a demonic, talking blade that may be your only ally.
Features:
Industry Standard Platforming and Precision Gameplay
Defeat hordes of deadly Tengu in fast-paced, skill-driven combat
Elegant structured roguelite zones that test your reflexes and grit
Die, retry, grow stronger, and overcome impossible odds
Voice-acted cast and charming performances
Absorb Meza souls to unlock powerful upgrades
Wield the Yutameta scythe and strike from afar
Choose your weapon – Hammer, Blade, Whip, and more
Fully animated opening cutscene sets the tone
Transform into the ULTIMATE Void Crow and demolish the Tengu
Explore a vibrant world full of color and personality
Take flight and glide through challenging sky sections
Collect elemental powers – Flame, Lightning, and Poison
A hybrid soundtrack mixing synthwave and JRPG influences!
Hand-drawn pixel art with expressive animation
Classic approach to video game storytelling, and an honest attempt at trying to answer the question of "what if roguelites existed in 1991?"
Intense, precise, and rewarding platforming. Combine a variety of dashes, jumps, and sprints to reach your goal
Channel the power of the Mezameta Blade to seize corrupted souls from Tengu in the heat of combat
Smash Tengu with a devastating hammer, unleash massive damage with a brutal greatsword
Strike from a distance with a 'Vania-inspired whip, or hurl a deadly sickle for devastating ranged attacks
With a streamlined, yet minimal loop and persistent progression, every death brings you closer to victory. Fall in battle, and the phoenix at the Twilight Perch will revive you as a stronger Bladewing, and more prepared for what’s next.
One level might have you scouring ruins for keys, another navigating vast buildings while dodging patrolling enemies, and others will launch you into the open skies of Judanest for zen-like traversal.
Every zone brings something new, and every challenge pulls you deeper into the heart of Judanest.
Take up arms against the evil Crow sorcerer who brainwashed your troupe.
You must save them all.

User Reviews
I am not a pixel art game fan but the have been growing on me. Atomic Owl is a pretty awesome game. It's Mega Man and Castlevania mixed in a bowl, poured in a pan, baked in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes and you got Atomic Owl. The soundtrack is Bon Appetit! Don't let the cute graphics fool you, this game is pretty difficult at times. Definitely pays homage to retro gaming. Bravo dev!
This game is seriously underrated, and I'm surprised more people don't know about it. Basically, my only con is the story, which is confusing at first, but eventually becomes clear the further you get into the story. Other than that, everything else is amazing - the spritework feels like an SNES running on an RTX card, the music blew me away the first time I heard it, and the controls are easy to learn but hard to master. Please buy this game, you won't regret it.
