About Raktoo
Your job is simple on paper. Grab the grapes, stay alive, and find the Exit door.
It is a compact 2D adventure built around precise jumps and careful timing. Each stage adds a new twist, so the moves that worked a few levels ago suddenly need more thought.

The star of the show is the double jump. Learning exactly when to fire that second hop is what separates a clean run from a painful restart.
Progress in Raktoo is steady and straightforward. Each level is a small puzzle of ledges, gaps and enemy paths, and the challenge ramps up as new mechanics appear. Fans of focused platform action will appreciate that it never wastes your time with menus or long cutscenes.
The visuals are bright and colorful, with clear shapes that make it easy to see where you can land. It is a small, modest game made in Construct 2, so do not expect huge worlds, but the simple look keeps the action readable when things get hectic.
Some levels will test your patience, and that is part of the fun. Line up your first jump, keep an eye on the monster patrolling below, and see how many black grapes you can carry to the Exit door.
