Will the King Escape?

Will the King Escape? is a turn-based game in which you help King Shorty escape a Tower. Archmage Tip casts a spell that fragments time into turns, and you must reach each level’s stairs before the turns run out.

Enemies in the Tower

The King faces many enemies, each with different patterns and traits that shape how you move and interact with a level. Nagas ignore the holy power of sunlight, evil gnome warlocks teleport with a lethal beam, and imps nap every other step. Grumpy dwarves, greedy goblins and other creatures also stand in your way.

Traps and mechanisms

The Tower’s handcrafted levels contain traps, mechanisms and enemies. You must study each level, choose a path and decide how to proceed as you descend. Windows and lights can stun or purify enemies, while teleportation platforms can move you or the invaders across a level. Dangerous spikes kill anything that stands on them; the Tower also holds enchanted doubloons, spiked chests and more.

The King’s advisors

The Telepaty Spell lets you learn about King Shorty’s advisors during his escape. They are an extravagant group, and one may be hiding an unexpected secret.
