About Dark Boy
Help Dark Boy fight through stunningly designed greyscale levels and use your time-controlling abilities to help slay dark monsters along the way.Are you ready to explore a world full of darkness and illuminate your way with courage?
Expect action at its core, with a streak of adventure and arcade woven through the design. Pick it up for a short break or settle in for a while — it runs well on phone, tablet, and desktop alike.
Two quick pointers before you dive deep: Backtrack after you gain a new ability; earlier areas usually hide things you couldn't reach. Read item descriptions; adventure games often hide the next clue in the flavor text.
