Draco's Kingdom Climb

Features

• A delicious sample taster of three classic platformer levels, inspired primarily by the Donkey Kong Country series but built for blazingly fast speedrunning - probably 10-30 minutes of gameplay, unless you're speed running it, in which case maybe a minute? 
• Each level features a unique environment and music
• 3 hidden gems to find in each level
• An infinite lives cheat, but you'll have to use your head to find it.
• Fun movement, cute characters!
• Rebindable Controls!
  
• Accessibility options (slow down game speed, give unlimited lives)
• debug mode for exploration/maybe practicing a tough spot over and over again, but don't be trying to set a record time with it!
• In level and total game timers with online leaderboards for speed running
  

Controls

• Controller is the intended experience
  
• You can rebind them, but as default:
  • Movement: Left Joystick / Left D-Pad /  WASD 
    • Hold down to fall faster
  • Jump: South Button (Nintendo B, XBox A, PS ❌) / Spacebar
    • Hold jump to jump further
  • Roll/Sprint: West Button (Nintendo Y, XBox X, PS 🟪) / Left Shift / Right Click
    • Hold to maintain speed
  • Pause: Start / Escape
  • Restart: Select / R
    • Doing this costs you a life

"Story"

Draco woke up late on his graduation day and needs to climb the mountain to get his wings! Also someone stole his gems? 

Made in a rush for SpeedJam #5, then polished up after!

Known Issues

Sometimes weird stuttering when wall sliding, and a few cosmetic bugs.

Godot has stuttering issues when playing on Windows outside of fullscreen... at least in the editor. So play full screen. :) 

Wall jumps store a little too much momentum, but it's fun so go nuts with it.
