A Hole New World is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by MadGearGames and released in 2017, available across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and Linux. Players take on the role of the Potion Master, a lone defender whose city has been overrun by creatures invading from a parallel dimension called the Upside Down World. Gameplay draws heavily from classic arcade conventions — straightforward jump-and-shoot mechanics with an emphasis on challenge rather than complex controls. Combat takes place across both the regular world and the Upside Down World, and bosses can be defeated to absorb their abilities. The Story Mode spans five distinct worlds and includes multiple endings, while additional content such as Boss Rush Mode, Challenge Mode, and a New Game Plus offer extended replayability. The game features over 30 enemy types, seven boss battles, and numerous secret characters.
The city is being invaded by monsters from the Upside Down World! You, the Potion Master, must defeat evil all alone, with no tutorials or "Easy Mode" to assist you. You'll have to rely on the help of Fäy, your companion fairy, and your potions!
