Risko – Shepherd’s Leap
“In the mountains of the Canary Islands, the ancient shepherds dedicated their lives to their land with such intensity that their learning, experiences and teachings remain eternally leaping over the cliffs of the Canarian geography with their astias…”
Risko – Shepherd’s Leap turns a living Canary Islands tradition into a cross-platform indie game. Run and descend through the memories with your astia, collect pintaderas, and mind the local flora and terrain.
What is Shepherd’s Leap?
Shepherd’s leap (salto del pastor) is an ancestral Canarian technique: shepherds used a pole or astia to move across cliffs and ravines. Risko makes that culture playable — mechanics, landscapes and memory in one shepherd leap game.
Gameplay (Magma & Traditional)
- Magma and Traditional modes: camera, bounce and powerups define each descent.
- Every run is unique thanks to a procedural terrain engine.
- Score mode for high scores and Relax mode without fail states.
- Customize male/female characters and unlock skins — from a Canarian sun cap to the legendary Hope cape.
Why Canarian culture
Backgrounds based on real Canary Islands landscapes, procedural weather, pintaderas and local flora. A genuine Canary Islands indie game built around shepherd’s leap tradition.
