Knigthmare Run
Knightmare Run
Run, die, retry… and escape the dungeon.
Knightmare Run is my first game!
It currently features a tutorial level and 11 handcrafted levels.
The gameplay is inspired by Super Meat Boy – it's a fast-paced platformer where trial and error is part of the fun.
You play as a little knight trying to escape a dungeon filled with spikes, spinning blades, and deadly traps.
With the right path and timing, each level takes less than 10 seconds to beat... except the last one ;)
The game is meant to be played on desktop, but it also works on mobile with basic touch controls.
Touch Controls
- Tap and hold the ← and → arrows to move
- Tap the ↑ arrow to jump
- Tap the top of the screen to pause and open the menu
Keyboard Controls
- A → Move left
- D → Move right
- Space → Jump

I used ChatGPT for help during development.
While most of the code was written or adapted by me from various online tutorials, the save system is one part I shamelessly copy/pasted.

Fantastic work! I'm working on my first platformer and found this game through your comment on the character pack.
The only nitpick I have is the jump always being the same height no matter if you tap the jump button or hold it, that could make the jumping feel even better! Might be intentional? (Haven't played Super Meat Boy)
loved playing this!
and almost broke my screen trying to beat that last levelhaha thanks!
