Mangút - hand-painted 2D precision platformer set in Brazil

Mangút is a hand-painted 2D precision platformer set in Brazil. Players control Gil, a porcupine app delivery worker racing against time and his own bills, swinging through the city with a tight grappling hook.

Key Features
  • Expressive grappling hook: attach, adjust rope length and chain pendulum momentum
  • Bullet time and dash layered on fully custom physics with tight, responsive controls
  • Hand-painted levels inspired by Brazilian daily life, from the periphery to the forest to a TV studio
  • Original soundtrack fusing samba, coco, bossa nova and funk, with a unique theme per character
  • Story-driven campaign about the gig economy, with choices that shape Gil's family and community
  • Risk-and-reward routes: collectibles on dangerous paths raise the payout at the end of the day
