(NOTICE: This page exists to follow the development of a game that is still in development. All screenshots reflect an early stage of development and include placeholders.)
Princess Plum just wants some personal time, but Runman won't stop "rescuing" her. Teaming up with the villain and his army of minions, she aims to take matters into her own hands!
Don't Save the Princess is an inverted runner in which you control the obstacles instead of the running character. Properly time and combo spikes, smashers, and projectiles in order to slow down Runman level after level. Hold him off for long enough and you'll unlock new dialogue scenes... and maybe Princess Plum will finally get some time to relax.
