Castle Kong is Drowning Monkeys homage to what we consider the best game ever made: Galaga.
Anyways...
What makes the golden age of arcade gaming so fun is a simple concept: 1 coin (Meaning no restarts or additional lives. there are no actual coins on the PC version of the game), 3 lives. play till you die or hit the kill screen, and set a high score.
And that's what Castle Kong is all about. Just like the game it's based on (Probably not Galaga), CK will be a ruthless, 4 stage, 22 level romp as you play PauperBoy, a young kid who sets out to save PrincessGirl from the evil clutches of BaronMan.
Unlike it's predecessors, we leverage the power of connectivity to host tournaments (with a championship!), verify high scores, and have a global leaderboard.
And As Always,
if anyone's interested, a kill screen is coming up.
