Platform Brawler

Introduction

Welcome!  Platform Brawler is a 2D platformer roguelike dungeon crawler with items to upgrade your character and a variety of unique enemies to defeat!

Start out as a weakling with nothing more than movement and a simple attack, and collect items to become stronger and fight harder enemies!  Items have effects ranging from base character upgrades to producing fireballs and ninja stars.  Some items even set up rare synergies with others, so try and look for the best combinations!

Enemies

The game features 15 enemies, which each bring with them unique AI and different challenges.  Some are weak to close range attacks, but be careful as others might turn around and whack you when you try to do this!  Stronger enemies are hard to take out without trading health, so pick up items that can help you against them!

Items

There are over 40 different items which can be purchased in shops or given as reward from completing a challenge room.  Late game enemies are tough, so getting effective items early on will help ensure your survival.  Items can be activated by performing various actions such as attacking, taking damage or destroying an enemy.  Find items that synergize with each other to build powerful combinations!

Progression

Each of the four stages has a unique collection of enemies it chooses to populate the rooms.  You start out with no items, so the first level is where you are the weakest.  Seek out challenge rooms and shops to obtain items as soon as possible.  Fighting the boss on the last area is very challenging, so build up as many items as you can to have the best chance of winning at this fight.

Controls

Navigate the dungeon using WASD and the arrow keys.  It is essential to learn the wall jump, where by sticking to a wall you can perform another jump.  There is no limit to the number of times this technique can be used, try and use it in creative ways to avoid taking damage!
