Description
Rescue the Princesses! A beautiful and fun platformer, with 5 Heroes, 30 Artifacts, 20 Masks, and a randomly generated world that is different everytime you play.
Try the two player mode as well, where you can play either with a friend or with the AI!
Unlock artifacts to discover new powers for each of your heroes, and find masks that can customize the look of your character.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0toz-XesdRg
How to Play
Arrow keys to move, spacebar to use special ability. Press down to rescue heroes.
Developer Updates
3RD UPDATE: Quitting the game will not deduct a life from you. This is to make it fair for those inescapable situations (even though they are rare now)! Also, exits only appear after you reach the Gold target in a level.
2ND UPDATE: Added code to prevent a long horizontal wall from blocking your progress. That should resolve a large majority of the complaints/bug reports! Also, minor fix: corrected the description for the Shadow Shuriken. For game balance, Stonebreaker no longer gives you gold.
Fix for sticky keys: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/7-technical-support/topics/67250-fix-for-keys-sticking-in-games-in-internet-explorer
Also, added Mute and Quality Toggle buttons to the main game! Thanks to everyone who submitted the bug reports and left a comment!
====
UPDATE: Small change that should fix some of the complaints: pressing โQโ as any hero will not immediately quit the game, but will revert you back to the normal dude instead.
========
Note to players: I suppose some things arenโt quite clear, so here you go:
a) get the gold target for each level to gain an artifact. the target is shown at the start of the level, and also under your current gold
b) rescue princesses for artifacts
c) select an artifact before each level to unlock new powers for each hero!

Seeing as you get the Royal Crown mask upon completing the game, is it too macabre to assume that the much-beloved hero was just out for the throne?

Great game, I really love how the heroes actually look different when you equip them with other stuff. The only problem is, when 2 enemies are standing on the same spot and you jump on them with a hero that doesn't have a melee weapon, it hurts you one time. Not a big problem, but it can get annoying sometimes.

I like how you can go back and get more artifacts and hats after you go to the menu, it brings replay value and is perfectionist friendly.

The depth of this game really took me by surprise! It's a really simple concept that expands into a really fun game!
