Don't Save the Princess

Don't Save the Princess is an anti-runner game where you control the obstacles instead of the protagonist. You play as the villain's forces, strategically timing and combining attacks—spikes, smashers, and projectiles—to slow down Runman as he repeatedly attempts to "rescue" Princess Plum across multiple worlds. The twist: Princess Plum is tired of being rescued and has allied with the villain to finally get some peace. Properly executing combos and upgrades gradually unlocks new dialogue scenes and story progression, revealing more of Plum's perspective on the situation.
