Darby is Here Forever

Darby Is Here Forever is a platformer about Darby, a little vampire who escapes his home and sets out to reclaim it from the Demon King. The greedy ruler conquers, hunts and pollutes to fill his pockets with gold. You guide Darby through dangerous locations filled with puzzles, enemies and platforming challenges across more than 200 screens.

Darby's abilities

Darby can jump high and glide. While airborne, he can also create a platform made of blood to cross gaps, reach distant places or make difficult challenges easier. Creating one leaves him weak and unable to use any more abilities, so you need to manage when to use it.

Death and progress

Darby is immortal and respawns in coffins, making each death a chance to learn the surroundings and improve your approach. You collect blood on the journey and use it to unlock coffins, placing respawn points near areas that are difficult to overcome. The game also has a New Game+ mode with options to customize the difficulty of a new run.

The journey

Escaping the castle is only the start of Darby's journey. The game uses a retro visual style inspired by a mix of pixelated styles, with music and sound effects to match the adventure. Boss encounters test Darby's skills along the way.
