Beholder's Lair

Beholder's Lair is a difficult 2D platformer about escaping a demon’s dungeon by avoiding enemies. Seeking glory and treasure, you explore Zindan, an old dungeon near the ancient desert city of Urf. After days of exploring, fighting and looting, cultists capture you in your sleep. A beholder has made its lair inside the dungeon, and you had camped beside it. To escape, you must make your way through the lair without sharing the fate of those who came before you.

Dungeons and enemies

The game has three dungeons, each with a unique environment and enemies. You learn enemy movement patterns and try to outsmart them as you progress.

Items and survival

You receive random items after each level. Finding combinations that work well is crucial to success; a poor combination can severely hinder your progress. The game has permadeath: the Beholder lets you try again, but you do not restart from where you left off.

Track your runs

A high-score system records your result for each level and your total completion time.
