Thrive is a Metroidvania / Precision Platformer with no combat that promises to challenge platformer lovers while welcoming new players to the genre.By combining the fun aspects of skill-based platform puzzles with the freedom of exploration and backtracking of Metroidvania, the game will offer a balanced challenge so more casual players can finish and enjoy the main story.Still, it will also provide clever and bold optional courses that defy the most experienced ones.
