Wunderling / Wunderling DX

A game by Retroid for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, originally released in 2020, with the DX version released in 2022.
Wunderling is a puzzle-platformer where you play as the titular villain who is attempting to kill the hero. In this case, the hero is an anthropomorphic carrot known simply as Carrot Man, and he's a bit of a jerk. Wunderling is a goomba-like creature who simply patrols to the left and right until one day, he gets stomped by Carrot Man who uses the resulting bounce to reach the top of a Super Mario Bros.-inspired flagpole. Fortunately for our anti-hero, this is not the end…


The evil sorceress Kohlrabi revives her fallen underling and grants him the power of jumping, in hopes that he can chase down Carrot Man and put an end to him. Kohlrabi is somewhat of a diva, and she travels with a cameraman at all times… well, a cameracow anyway. The duo broadcast her exploits in full-on propaganda mode as Kohlrabi attempts to use her powers to become ruler of the Vegetable Kingdom.
