About Colossal Itch!
Colossal Itch! is a free action adventure game about Nib, a pebble-sized hero with a sewing-needle lance, and six titans who have something stuck in them. Each titan is a living level that keeps moving while you climb it. Run along a tortoise's shell as it walks, hang on to a stag's shaggy neck, hop across a sky whale's back above the clouds, and climb a storm serpent coiled around a tower. The in-game text is in English.
Glowing rust thorns are what make them so grumpy. Dash into a thorn to pull it out, and every hit refills your dash, so a good run never touches the ground. Fur and moss can be climbed, bare skin and stone are slippery, and when a titan shudders you had better be in the air. Pull every thorn and the giant sighs, giggles, and finally finds the big heart thorn you came for.
Features
- Six walking titans, each a moving level in its own world: meadow, autumn forest, sky, ruins, storm, volcano
- Dash-strike combat: every hit refills your dash, so you can chain thorns, mites and puffpods in mid-air
- Climb fur and moss, slide on stone, ride the giant as it walks, and get flung when it shakes
- Three phases per titan, a heart thorn finale, stars, par times and checkpoints
- Daily Itch with a twist, Titan Rush, upgrades, seven scarves and 12 trophies
