Overview

Adelaide: A Tiny Adventure is a 2D side-scrolling platformer from solo developer The Indie Dad, released on October 28, 2026. It casts you as Adelaide, a little girl with a hammer and a double jump, determined to find her way home across four distinct worlds.

The game blends action, adventure, and casual exploration across 40 handcrafted pixel-art levels, from green ruins and autumn forests to frozen castles and a forgotten tropical coast.

Highlights

  • Four themed worlds, forty levels: Each world introduces new obstacles and visual themes, keeping the platforming fresh from start to finish.
  • Core mechanics: Time your double jumps and swing your hammer to overcome challenges, with hidden paths tucked just beyond the obvious route.
  • Accessible design: Single-player only, with keyboard-only controls and custom volume options, making it easy to pick up and play.

Who It's For

If you enjoy classic 2D platformers with a gentle difficulty curve and a cozy pixel-art aesthetic, this is a solid pick. The game's short, level-based structure suits both quick sessions and longer playthroughs, and the female protagonist adds a refreshing perspective.

It's also a great choice for players who like hunting for secrets and exploring every nook of a colorful world.
