About the Game

Hold Your King is a physics-based co-op platformer set in a stylized medieval world full of parkours, dangers, and coordination. Trust your friend and carry the king to the throne room.

DON'T LOSE YOUR BALANCE

Beware the physics while carrying the King! Your speed, acceleration, and angular momentum directly affect his balance. Every step you take decides the King’s fate—and therefore yours.

MAKE USE OF YOUR LIMBS

Keeping the King balanced is up to you! Lift the stretcher up or down, rotate it left or right, and use physics to your advantage.

BONK THE KING

Bonk the King to steady him—but he might get angry. Do it at your own risk!

INTERACT WITH KING

King is responsive to his environment, you can manipulate him as you wish. You could be a bit kinder, though.

DO NOT ANGER THE KING

Or be ready for whips and tantrums.

HOLD YOUR KING

Pick up the King and drag him back onto the stretcher. Simple? Think again.

USE THE STRETCHER TO CLEAR YOUR PATH

Use the stretcher to interact with dynamic obstacles and clear your path!
