Don’t Save The Princess

About this game

Ever get tired of the same old fairy tales where the brave knight always gets the girl? Well, this quirky puzzle game flips the script entirely. You step into the shoes, or perhaps the menacing boots, of the villain! Your job isn’t to rescue the damsel in distress, but to actively stop the valiant, armor-clad hero from ever reaching her tower. You’ll achieve this delightful dastardliness by cleverly placing magical platforms, redirecting the determined knight into perilous traps, pitfalls, or maybe even the hungry jaws of a conveniently placed monster.

The challenge ramps up across twenty-four distinct levels, each throwing a new kind of wrench into the hero’s plans. You really have to put on your thinking cap, anticipating the knight’s predictable pathfinding and figuring out the perfect sequence of obstacles to foil him. It’s less about reflexes and more about cunning strategy and careful placement. There’s a unique satisfaction in watching your elaborate, hero-stopping contraption work exactly as planned, turning the usual heroic rescue narrative completely on its head with mischievous glee.

Beyond the main set of puzzles, the fun doesn’t have to stop. A built-in level editor lets you unleash your inner evil genius, designing your very own devious challenges to stump the knight. You can even share your creations, adding a whole layer of replayability. It’s a refreshing twist on puzzle gaming, blending strategic thinking with a healthy dose of dark humor, all wrapped up in mechanics that are easy to pick up but offer plenty of room for clever solutions.
