Super Fowlst

Super Fowlst builds its levels vertically rather than horizontally, which turns jumping from the usual platforming tool into the primary combat mechanic, bouncing off enemies mid-jump both damages them and keeps your ascent going at the same time.

Because momentum carries upward through chained enemy bounces, treating a cluster of demons as a staircase rather than a threat to avoid tends to climb a level faster than picking them off individually from a standstill. Special moves are worth saving for tightly packed enemy groups rather than single targets, since their value scales with how many demons they can hit at once. Cat Ninja covers a similar fast dash-and-slash platforming rhythm with a horizontal level structure instead.
