Slayer Knight
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome to Slayer Knight, a challenging 2-D action side-scroller adventure where you play as the Knight. As the Knight, you must slay a variety enemies, perform intricate platforming, defeat the almighty Ancients, and do so as quickly and as skillfully as possible in order to become the Slayer Knight. In doing so, eliminate the chaos ravaging the Lands.
At this point in time, only a demo featuring the tutorial and the first level of the game is available, where the intent is to get feedback from others as the rest of the game is getting developed. As this is only my second game--check out Mono Playground on Steam--I'm keeping the scope of Slayer Knight down to a total of three levels--excluding the tutorial--and a smaller, unlockable fourth level. The first three levels will consist of various enemies, platforming, and a boss at the end. The fourth will just have a boss.
I hope you all enjoy the experience!

It is recommended to use either the itch.io or Steam launchers for download. Windows and Linux do run fine from direct download (Linux will involve either running as super user or changing the mode of the folder to allow executables). However, MacOS demo must be executed through one of the launchers.
