Gameplay:

The End Is Nigh is a sprawling adventure platformer where the player takes control over Ash, one of few "things" that have "survived" the "end of the world".
Follow Ash as he flops his way through a future of pain and suffering. Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest... to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey).

Oh, also you collect video game cartridges and tumors! if that does anything for ya.


  • Features:


  • 600+ levels!

  • 12+ explorable chapters!

  • 20+ collectible and fully playable mini game cartridges! (each with their own tiny achievements!)

  • 80+ achievements that will make you feel good about yourself

  • 100s of collectible little squishy tumors!

  • loads of hidden extras and endings that you will probably see someone else find before you do!

  • and stress!
