About the Game

Your castle is falling apart!
Dash, wall-jump, and use power-ups to escape your imminent doom with up to four players in this infinitely scrolling platformer.

Gameplay
The game is played in two modes, singleplayer and multiplayer.
In singleplayer, your ultimate goal is to survive for as long as possible.
In multiplayer, your goal is to compete against your friend/s to become the last man standing.
Pick up power-ups along the way for an extra powerful dash, a double jump, or a second chance against any threat.

There are two levels thus far, The Knight's Tower and The Necromancers Tower.
Level is chosen at random for each match.
More levels are planned to be added later, like The Mines and The Ruins.

Controls
Jump with W or Arrow Up on keyboard, and with A on controller.
Walk left or right with A/D or Left Arrow/Right Arrow on keyboard, and with D-Pad or Left Stick on controller.
Dash by double-tapping A/D or Left Arrow/Right Arrow on keyboard, and with D-Pad on controller.
Controller is recommended.

NOTE:
Each and every player is required their own controller in multiplayer, even player 1. It is not possible to combine keyboard and controllers.

I only have access to one desktop during development. I therefore do not know the system minimum for running the game.
If you encounter any performance problems or other bugs, let me know through my email or a message on Steam. I will respond as quickly as possible.
