Janosik is a retro action-platformer metroidvania. It's fast-paced, challenging, and full of secrets to discover while exploring its big and interconnected world.
The game is completely FREE and with no microtransactions!
Janosik's companions were captured by the evil Count Von Zur and it’s up to you to find and rescue them from the prison. Explore hand-drawn pixel art world, find secrets, jump over deadly obstacles, roll and attack enemies, collect gold coins and find upgrades.
Janosik will give you about 2 hours of single-player retro platforming fun.
Janosik was a legendary Slovak highlander rogue. According to the legend, he robbed nobles and gave the loot to the poor, just like Robin Hood. The game is based on popular legends in which Janosik had special magical items given to him (usually) by witches. Those items gave him superhuman strength, protected him from bullets, or gave him the ability to jump over the trees. In some legends, Janosik fights with supernatural beings.
We took inspiration from the legends both for this game and the upcoming Janosik 2, and highly recommend that you read more about this hero if you enjoyed playing our retro platformer.
Please note that the Slovakian language version is available in the game’s main menu.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Its a very nearly perfect game that gives you far more than what can reasonably be expected for a free game; there isn't much more that needs to be said.
Wow! This is a real gem!
The tutorial is fairly easy, but it gets harder fairly quickly. Enemies are deadly and you will die a lot. But thanks to weapon upgrades and smart placement of checkpoints the gameplay is truly fun. Very nice pixel graphics, great music, responsive controls and on top of that Janosik's story is quite fun.. Guys you need to see that INTRO, haha :) I can't wait for Janosik 2 :)
