About game
Pale Errant is a stark monochrome platformer. You are the Errant, fleeing the Root – a shapeless torrent of pale ichor with countless eyes, whose hands claw up the walls. The tower stands in absolute black. There is no salvation, only the climb. Death is the ritual before each new ascent.
The tower offers many paths: gentle but long, or steep and swift. The Root slows as it nears – use that breath. Dash through enemies to turn them to static stone, creating platforms. Or perform an Echo Dash (downward dash onto an enemy) to shatter them, becoming a black silhouette that phases through walls until you land.
Every kill gives points and grows a multiplier, increasing the height you leave behind. But the Root feels each death and grows faster. Choose: pacifist ascent or a slaughter crowned with speed?
Controls are responsive and forgiving. This is an early prototype – rough but growing. Your ideas are the best support. Thanks for playing!
How to play
Controls (default, changeable in Static): Move – A/D Jump / Double Jump – Space (press again mid-air) Wall Slide – hold against wall while falling Wall Jump – jump while sliding Dash – Shift (any direction) Downward Dash – Down + Shift (in air) Combat: Dash Into – dash through an enemy, turning it into a static stone platform. Echo Dash – downward dash onto an enemy, shattering it, turning you into a black silhouette that phases through walls until you touch ground. Tips: - Multiple routes: longer/safer or shorter/riskier. - The Root slows as it approaches – use that moment. - Kills give points and multiplier but make the Root faster. - Pacifist or aggressive – both work. Menu: Fade – quit, Echo – start, Static – settings, Replay – retry, Resume – continue, Mute – main menu, Chip – work in progress. The game responds instantly – experiment with dashes and wall jumps to find your own path.Game info
