The Steam page describes the game as follows:
Saving the world won’t be easy, enemies great and small are waiting for you at every turn. Luckily, a cutting edge blend of reactive and emergent physics, backed up by arcade-tight controls powers your combat and traversal through the Awaysis. It’s all about momentum and mayhem as you jump, slide, and collide around the world, bonking your enemies into the abyss.
When the threat of darkness looms, a ragtag bunch of unlikely pals must team up together to ascend the floating mountain of Awaysis. Explore the long lost secrets of the mystical temple to gear up, take on the Dark Lord of Darkness, restore balance to the world, and most importantly – convince the frog to get out of the hot-tub!
