Story

Legend describes the adventurer with the red bandana as a legendary character who is intelligent, charismatic, strong and agile, but above all he has a red bandana. To become the beaming hero he is today, the story goes that he fell into a well when he was 8 years old, taking hours to climb out. A few days later, he wanted to try his luck again, but as he tried to get faster and faster, he ended up going down every day to perfect his technique.

One day, it's said, he came out wearing a red bandana, and his aura has only grown since then. Over the years, the well become a popular training ground for adventurers, some of whom have emerged with the same bandana, and a leaderboard is kept in front of the entrance, with some very good scores rising to the top, but no one has ever beaten his remarcabe time of 00:41:737.

You play an apprentice adventurer determined to overcome this ordeal, and accompanied by your faithful sidekick, you've made your way to the location of this well so that you can proclaim yourself the worthy successor to the adventurer with the red bandana.

Can you overcome this challenge?

I recommend that you use the download link for the best experience.

WebGl Info, the game is perfect on my mac but runs badly on my pc, so it will depend a lot on your browser and your config.

sorry but I couldn't get past the second level of jumps.. the gravity is a bit too strong and the friction is a bit too low (i.e. quite slippery).

it is an interesting idea, but the controls aren't really up to the task
