Fragile Knight

Fragile Knight is a retro-style roguelike vertical platformer game about falling into a sewer, losing your sword and improvising to escape the rising water. Wall jump, shield bounce, double jump and leap your way out of the sewer in every one of the game's unique, progressively difficult, procedural runs while you aim to complete secret objectives, achieve new highscores and survive for the full 9 minutes of each escape attempt. Made for the 7 Day Roguelike Game Jam (7DRL).
