Dark Boy is a side-scrolling action platformer set in a black-and-white world full of monsters. You jump, fight and complete objectives to reach the end of each level, and your hero can slow down time, which turns tricky jumps and fights into moments you can plan.

There is more than one boy to play. You switch between them with a key, which suggests each level is meant to be solved with the right character at the right moment.

On desktop you move with the left and right arrows, jump with the up arrow or Space, attack with A, toggle bullet time with W and swap characters with Q. On mobile you use on-screen buttons.

The greyscale art gives it a moody look that stands out from bright casual games.

Keep bullet time for groups of enemies or long gaps. Using it on easy sections wastes it before the parts that actually need it.
