Thy Kingdom Crumble Reviews

its fun!

Hold mouse to jump, wasd to walk around, wall jump, bounce on enemies, buy some upgrades, get to the top. It takes 6 or 7 minutes to casually beat the game. It's cheap, and it plays exactly like it looks. Somewhat fun to move and go fast. So why am I not recommending it? It's actually really simple: the final boss room is a mess. The boss sits atop a throne, in a 15 second long room that you need to climb. To damage the boss, you need to jump on it, and if your bounce is a little too high, you take damage on a few spikes (annoying, but if you have more than 1 hp, you can just faceplant into them to destroy them). It's a baffling design decision, but at least you can somewhat counteract it. If you get to the boss room with just one health, I don't know. Bouncing correctly requires an amount of precision not demanded anywhere else in the game, not even in new game plus. Then the boss retaliates, usually making you go all the way down to the bottom of the room, and repeat it from the beginning. It takes 5 (I think) hits to kill the boss, and it's completely mind numbing. I managed to die more than once because I [i]needed[/i] to squeeze out a few more hits in the same cycle to shorten the boredom. In many games, this would be a slight smear which would make me like them a little less, but maybe still recommend. Here, there's so little to see, it's a huge blot. Remove the spikes in the boss room, and make it interact with the player in an interesting way, and maybe then this'd be something worth my time.

I found the jump mechanics of this game confusing and counterintuitive. I wish you could use a controller.

This is a special game. Very simple, very captivating. You move, you jump. You grapple. You conquer. Not enough reviews. Tested to ensure it's great. level feels like it's falling on you in slow motion tetris mode so that you can continue to move up as you try to progress. It's unique, definitely challenging. Feels like a rock climbing simulator. 2 steps forwad, 9 steps back :P

Short but well tailored. Untypical gameplay and visuals makes for a unique experience.

A neat concept that's fairly well done, save for the boss of the game being complete garbage - mostly due to the fact that there are spikes above him and you're typically required to jump off him to hurt him, and it takes a rather long time. The platforming upwards is fun, art and music are nice. Overall recommended.
