IF THE GAME SEEMS UNPLAYABLE ON THE BROWSER, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE EXECUTABLE


As a Duskbreaker wielding light and dark powers, you must climb a mysterious black tower that emerged from the wasteland. Pick two powerful abilities and test your skills against increasingly challenging floors. Do you have what it takes to reach the top?

Duskbreak is a retro-inspired arcade game that focuses on maneuvering and timing skills.

Watch the short trailer here!


HOW TO PLAY

✦ Begin by choosing two abilities; one light-based, and one dark-based.

✦ Control your knight by pressing the corresponding key to change directions. No need to hold down buttons to move.

✦ Start your climb!

✦ Do note that for every kill milestone reached, you are granted a chance to change one of your abilities ~


CONTROLS

  • W or Spacebar to jump to a platform above you.
  • S to move down a platform.
  • E to unleash your light-based ability. Similarly, press R to unleash your dark-based ability.

Nice game :)

It would be nice to be able to attack and jump at the same time.
