About This Game

A family-friendly, cooperative arcade platformer where 1–4 players climb endlessly generated castle towers, avoiding hazards, bouncing on enemies, and racing to exit doors. Runs are short and replayable with collectible tokens and unlockable characters and cosmetic hats. Gameplay is cartoonish and non-graphic—designed for casual local or online multiplayer sessions rather than competitive, high-skill single-player challenges.
