Description
Stab, dash and charge attack your way through all three levels of this fast-paced fantasy beat'em up, and show the Dark Lord who's boss!
Won't be easy, though (especially on Hell).
How to Play
*Arrow keys* - for moving around
*Z* - for stabbing things and menus
*X* - for blocking things that try to stab you
*hold Z* - for a super-charged attack
*double tap direction* - for dashing to safety
*Gamepads supported*. If controls stop responding, just click the game window :).

Very nice graphics. Rather unforgiving gameplay. Could use achievements or upgrades which are becoming a standard in flash games. Overall not bad :) cebularz.
The other commenter compared it to Dark Souls, and there is something to it - like DS, Lair is based on honing your skills until you're good enough to get through :). Achievements and upgrades would definitely have a place in a bigger version of the game, but I was working under tight constraints for this one - the game was made for PICO-8, a retro console with very limited resources. The web version here is a special export from that console.

Reminds me a lot of Castlevania (the first one on NES); the controls are a beast, buy you are golden once you get the timing down. Excellent graphics given resources. Outstanding game.

How to defeat the last boss: At the start of the battle he will cast some fireballs, dodge them whenever you see them. Then, when he moves to the ground, attack him and he will shield, he will summon a crystal and some monsters. You need to deal with the monsters, but also dash to the crystals because he will keep spawning his minions. Once 2 crystals are down, he will be vulnerable, dash to him and charge attack him. After a few hits he will float and cast his fireballs again, repeat the same process until he's death. Nice game 5/5 for making it fullscreen
