Overview
MESSAGE FROM THE DEV
The demo has been removed at this time because it no longer reflects the current build. Look out on the Dirty Beast Games Twitter when a new one may be released.
THE GAME, AT THIS TIME
Roskur’s Run is a fast-paced Sonic-inspired action platformer in very early alpha stages of development. The player controls Roskur on his quest to reach the top of the world tree in time.
It's a solo dev project I started in late April 2022. So far, the demo is VERY short, a quick single Act, and is a proof of concept of player character movement. I have bigger plans for the broader game loop that will come in the future.
I'm excited to hear feedback.
