Gilded Eternal

Gilded Eternal is a 2D pixel-art platformer built around single-room, score-chasing runs. You play as the Gilded Knight, a former soldier plagued by greed, sent to clear the Well of Monsters beneath the King’s castle before it overflows and destroys the castle and the King’s power. You lure monsters into the King’s crushing hand or use power-ups to destroy them, while collecting gold.

Lure the monsters

Each monster has its own attacks and movement, which you learn to guide them where you need them. Luring is also a matter of avoiding them: you run, jump and wall-jump around their attacks, jumping over or ducking under them. Destroying monsters in quick succession builds combos and earns more coins.

Coins and power-ups

Coins are your main score and can also buy power-ups that change each run, including jetpacks, revenge-seeking sawblades and shrink rays. You can also spend coins on new characters, including some returning characters. The game is an infinite score chase where you try to beat your high score, and runs can end in frequent deaths.
