About This Game




A Game Called Paako is a pixel-art 2D platformer metagame that tells the story of a game major graduate student making his thesis game project: A Game Called Paako.




  • Quality-certified double jump and wall jump mechanics. (Very old-school)
  • A fishing minigame. (Of course)
  • Watch a talk show. (Why?)
  • Find a job. (Or at least try to)
  • Listen to your own echo. (No, I don’t have one)




A Game Called Paako is initially an MFA thesis project at the University of Southern California created by Chaoran Huang, developed with help of Team Paako. For more information, please visit our publisher page. To learn more about the USC Games program, the #1 Games Program in the world, check out the USC Games website.
