Deep within the Marigold Meadows held the Radiant Lily, a mythical herb capable of dispelling any ailment. Upon finding it, Lyra ventures through Florian to deliver the herb to the kingdom of Clerica. Leap through 5 areas in this 2D platformer adventure and face off against foes and bosses alike by using Lyra's harp based attacks.

With her trusty spin jump, Lyra is able to weave through enemies without taking contact damage whilst she journeys back home. By diving onto slopes, Lyra can gain a burst of speed when she jumps.

Run (C by default / Double tap forward or backward): Lyra enters a run state that is faster than her usual walk speed. Running and then jumping can cross larger gaps compared a regular jump.

Spin Jump (Up + Jump / Down + Jump): Jumps higher than usual and deals light damage to enemies. Ignores contact damage from enemies.

Dive (Down + Jump while in the air): Quickly moves downwards and passes through contact damage from enemies. Land on slopes and then jump after a dive to leap across further distances.

Power Cut (Keep the attack button pressed down after an attack): Gathers up energy to release an attack with more range and damage. Charge is lost upon getting hit.

Call (A by default / Up + Attack): Uses Muse Points (MP) to cast ranged attacks with Lyra's familiars. Use left swap and right swap (S and D by default) to switch between these moves.


Joining Lyra are her loyal animal friends, Lepus, Felis, and Columba. By using Muse Points (MP) she is able to call upon her allies and combat foes who are beyond her reach. Although Lyra's MP pool is modest, she can refill her MP by landing physical attacks.


Featuring the iconic LCD palette from the 1990s. Choose between 12 color palettes to change a playthrough from a calm sunset to a deep midnight. Adding to this is an 8-bit classic soundtrack to complement the familiar green screen aesthetic.  Strive for S ranks and quicker times with a refreshing new look for the game.

This is really quite lovely. Very nice music and pleasant graphics. I would add some instructions for the controls, although it's not hard to figure out. Movement feels just slightly unresponsive, as if there is some delay between you pressing forward and the character starting to move. Monarch Bee was a fun boss, but could have done with a little less health to keep the pacing up. First part of second level seemed really punishing until I figured out dash-jumping. Consider explaining this with the control instructions, as well as the press down spin-jump. Okay, I am writing this while I am playing, there are actually a bunch of attacks too, this is really cool. Please add a savepoint in the middle of the lilypad section...
