Decline's Drops

In another place, in another time, a small puppet carved from oak and birch hides behind the forest. You play as Globule, a wooden boxing-gloved puppet who seeks revenge for her destroyed garden. Decline's Drops is a beautiful hand-drawn 2D platform-brawler that blends the thrill of classic platform fighters with a solo, melancholic adventure. Every world and character is crafted with care, inviting you into a vivid world that is at once poetic and bittersweet.

Gameplay at a Glance

Defend yourself with powerful gloves and a wide range of attacks designed to adapt to every situation. This is a side-scrolling, hand-drawn journey that channels the polish of renowned platformers while delivering a focused, single-player arcade experience. Expect tight combat, careful timing, and moments of explosive payoff as you punch your way through hostile environments.

Worlds and Discovery

Travel through six beautiful, handcrafted worlds, each offering unique ideas, environments, and challenges.

Story and Themes

Decline's Drops weaves a subtle satire of our modern world without preaching. Themes range from environmental destruction and animal exploitation to sea pollution and consumerism, all explored through lore that deepens the journey rather than lecturing you. The battle against the Hydra heads gradually reveals the true reason behind the appearance of the Decline.

Characters and Interactions
