MAKE SURE TO HAVE HARDWARE ACCELERATION ENABLED IN YOUR BROWSER SETTINGS (Google Chrome for example). The game features 3D graphics and performance in web will tank on lower end systems and systems with disabled hardware acceleration.

Long ago a hero ventured out on a journey through the kingdom with the goal of destroying the tyrannical “Skeleton King” once and for all. With great bravery he had stepped into the castle and challenged the King to a deadly fight, but it was all for naught. After a long and unfortunately one-sided battle he was slain.

Now it is up to you and your hero to take down the Skeleton King once and for all!


GMTK Game Jam 2020

A submission for GMTK Game Jam 2020.

Theme: Out of control.

The theme is woven into the story. 

There is also a secret mechanic relating to the theme. Sadly I can't talk about it here becuase it's a giant spoiler. See if you can figure it out!

Content credits:

I wrote the story, produced the music and coded the game. Art I created and animated were the Skeleton King, his barrier, the projectiles, the torches. I also 3D modelled the level. The sound effects and the rest of the artwork are pre-existing free assets.

Install instructions

The game can be played in browser directly on the itch.io page.

IMPORTANT: I have been notified that the .exe file doesn't work if you don't have unity cause of required files. After the jam I will most likely publish a build that works. Sorry for this.

Please contact me if you encounter issues and want help.
