Knightmare Tower (action)

Knightmare Tower by Juicy Beast is an action game about a knight, uh, 'ascending' a tower to rescue the 10 kidnapped princesses of a king and beat up the big baddie. A rocket will propel the knight up the tower where he will have to defeat baddies in order to increase his vertical velocity.

Yes, defeating enemies make the knight go faster. The laws of physics are a bit different in this game.

Unlike other knights, this knight's steed is a rocket!

The knight automatically attacks when he comes into contact with a baddie. He may 'dash' downwards to attack or pick up a powerup. Beware, though, that should the knight miss with his dash, he will 'fall off the tower'. If that should happen, his trusty steed (the rocket) will come and rescue him at the cost of some vertical velocity. It also gives the lava a chance to catch up with the knight.

There is lava coming up from the bottom, chasing after the knight (just don't think about the logic and enjoy the action). If the knight's vertical velocity is too slow and/or he falls off the tower too often, the lava will catch up and end the game.

Typical action with baddies and a potion powerup.

The fight is not one-sided - some of the baddies do hit back. If the knight is hit by a projectile or he hits the spikes of a baddie, he loses a life. If the knight loses all his lives, the game is over.

Summary after the game.

After the game, gold is awarded based on the knight's performance and loot collected. There are also quests, which are basically challenges to play the game in a certain manner. Completion of quests award more gold.

Buying upgrades for the knight.

The gold is used to upgrade the knight. Upgrades generally help the knight stay alive and beat up baddies faster. The knight changes appearance as equipment is upgraded.

Once potions are unlocked in the game, they may be upgraded to provide extra bonuses when one is picked up during the game.

Be sure to read the upgrade descriptions of fully upgraded items.

Lava, catching up. Baddies attacking.

Action is continuous in Knightmare Tower. The knight has to constantly beat baddies to keep ahead of the lava and protect his life. The game is short, though, so it is suitable to play during short breaks.

"Somewhere around Princess #5, I got the idea that our King might be a bit of a player..."

The last potion upgrade gives area effect (very useful) and an Easter egg. The taste of the potion is a very big hint as to what the Easter egg is.
