Ascend the crumbling ruins of a fallen kingdom by jumping, swinging, shooting, and teleporting your way through enemies and obstacles. New knowledge and abilities will aid you on your increasingly challenging skyward journey. It's like a reverse Downwell or a reverse-inverted finite Doodle Jump.

A single game is quick and simple: reach the sun with as much silver as possible. Silver represents both currency and score so purchasing useful power-ups must be balanced with the long term goal of a respectable grade. Death will start you back at the beginning with nothing.

The controls in Thy Kingdom Crumble are a little different than your usual platformer. Left clicking will have you jump towards the cursor and a right click activates any equipped abilities.

The haunting soundtrack was composed by Gisula.

Update 1.1.0

Esty8nine offered me some great feedback that I've incorporated into this update. Thanks Esty!

Adjustments

You now only have one chance to collect an enemy's coins (unless they are killed by a meteor or some other act of god). Packaged with some of the other changes, this should give coin collecting a higher risk/reward factor while minimizing tedium.
Enemies drop more coins
Coins eject from dead enemies faster and more erratically.
Thorns no longer knock you back.
The Slash Attack is less wonky.
The boss is invulnerable for longer after being hit.
Minor changes to the boss fight.
Minor changes to some sounds.

Bugfixes

Dying while in a turbo jump will no longer make you fall through the floor.
Fixed a bug that could hurt the player after respawning if they died while falling.
Fixed some sounds being cut off early.
The stone from the Stone Throw ability won't be pushed out of safe zones anymore.
Removed some debug stuff you probably didn't notice anyway.

Release in a couple days!
