ERSATZ PC

ERSATZ delivers a speed-focused hardcore action platformer infused with rhythm elements. Players dash to attack enemies, instantly recharging dash blocks, and pair it with slams to chain moves across 8 intense levels. A dynamic original electronic soundtrack shifts with progression, blending house, trance, synthwave, DnB, techno, and more. Unlock Type Beta and Type Gamma playstyles for separate times and grades, or tackle Journey Mode to beat all levels under 60 minutes. Infinite Mode offers endless dash energy for wild leaderboard runs, while Synth Rush pits you against bosses on the clock. Speedrunners and platformer experts chase S Ranks on every level and mode with global Steam leaderboards.
