HAMISH

HAMISH positions itself as a high-stakes test of kinetic mastery, where speed is not just a goal but a liability you must learn to harness. Developed and published by Soulo Games Ltd, this indie action-adventure title departs from the standard precision platformer by placing a heavy emphasis on a momentum-based physics system. The release date for HAMISH is July 15, 2026, and the game is currently confirmed for a PC launch.

The core loop revolves around maintaining Hamish’s velocity while navigating 39 main levels that span vastly different environments, from the war-torn Scottish Highlands to low-gravity space stations. Success depends on chaining moves together—using slides, wall jumps, and a grapple hook to keep your speed up without careening into the environmental hazards that pepper each world. This focus on rhythm means that every upgrade you purchase, such as double-jump boots or glide wings, fundamentally alters how you perceive the level geometry rather than just acting as a simple progression gate.

While the momentum mechanics provide the spine of the experience, Soulo Games Ltd is diversifying the pacing through significant genre shifts. The inclusion of snowboarding sections, spaceship dogfights, and rhythm-based boss encounters suggests a game that is terrified of becoming repetitive. This variety acts as a pressure valve for the high-difficulty platforming, though the ultimate challenge likely lies in the 69 hidden stages designed to push the momentum system to its breaking point. Whether these disparate styles—from rail-grinding on a haunted train to dogfighting in orbit—feel like a cohesive journey or a series of disconnected minigames is the primary hurdle the developer needs to clear.

For players who value the white-knuckle speed of titles where movement is the primary weapon, this is a clear candidate for a wishlist addition. The reliance on pixel-art precision and a steady stream of gear upgrades suggests a rewarding curve for those who enjoy perfecting their run times. Hold off for a launch-day deep dive to ensure the transition between the core platforming and the vehicle-based levels feels fluid. If the physics feel as crisp as the visuals, this could be a standout for fans of high-speed arcade challenges.
