You weren't exactly invited.
You and the other unlucky "volunteers" have been thrown into a series of dangerous expeditions where climbing, fighting and occasionally making very questionable decisions are the only ways forward.
Go alone, team up with friends, or jump into a public game and see how far you can get.
Movement is at the heart of Troublelings.
Climb freely through the environment, jump, double jump, wall run and combine movement abilities to find your own route through each area.
When your hands aren't enough, use physics-based climbing tools such as ropes, anchors and vines to reach places that would otherwise be impossible.
There isn't always one correct path. If you can figure out a way up, it probably counts.
Play completely solo or join other players through the multiplayer lobby browser.
Create your own game, find an existing expedition, or allow new players to join while a run is already in progress .
Lobbies support up to 12 players , with hosts able to choose how many people they want to let into the chaos.
More players can make an expedition easier.
They can also make everything considerably worse.
Not everything wants you to reach the top.
Face different enemy types with their own behaviours and attacks, and take on powerful bosses with increased health, unique mechanics and special attacks.
Find and unlock weapons and useful items that give you new ways to survive each expedition.
Defeating bosses can also reward you with cosmetics , giving you something to show for all those terrible decisions.
Each biome brings its own environment, traversal challenges, enemies and atmosphere.
The current game includes:
SandLand Cross hostile desert environments filled with vertical terrain and dangerous obstacles.
Dungeon Explore dark underground structures packed with traps, enemies and confined climbing challenges.
SkyIslands Leap and climb between islands suspended high above the world, where one bad move can result in a very long fall.
Additional environments, mechanics, items, weapons and challenges are planned throughout development.
Ropes, climbing equipment and other interactive objects use physics to create situations that aren't entirely predictable.
Use them cleverly to save yourself.
Use them badly and you may discover entirely new ways to fall.
Help another player reach safety.
Throw them a rope.
Fight a boss together.
Watch someone miss an easy jump.
Whether you're climbing seriously or causing complete chaos with a group of friends, Troublelings is built around the unexpected moments that happen when players, movement and physics collide.
