⭐️ SUMMARY ⭐️

Golden Force is a retro-style, run ‘n gun platformer set on undiscovered fantasy islands of Muscle Archipelago and deep waters, full of deadly creatures, surrounding it. Chop the tentacles of a Kraken-like monster, perform complex combos, slides, and dash attacks.

Defeat mini-bosses and peel the skin off giant and powerful main enemies. Join the intense action to discover many different unlockable areas with funky names like Nacho Island, ruled bySalsa General. Challenge yourself and complete all the stages with the best time, combo count, and with all of the coins in your pocket.

Grab collectibles and throwable items that will aid you in battle. Swim and fight underwater (beware of bloodthirsty fish!), dash over spiky obstacles, and try not to harm any kittens in the process (well, you can and there’s no penalty, but it’s definitely heartbreaking, and we WILL judge you). Finally, overcome the Demon King!
