Death Kid v1.23

Death Kid is an arcade-inspired arena brawler that blends fast, skill-based combat with roguelite-style meta progression. You play as the enigmatic Death Kid, an immortal protagonist tasked with escorting three fragile souls down eight increasingly hostile floors of a mysterious well. Each run challenges you to protect those souls while fending off waves of enemies that close in toward the center - positioning, timing, and quick decisions matter.

Combat is close-quarters and responsive: masterable abilities, a rage meter that can temporarily transform you into a more lethal form, and a small set of upgradable skills keep encounters sharp and varied. Success rewards you with experience that feeds into The Book of Death, unlocking passive levels and new effects so every attempt can feel meaningfully stronger than the last. There’s also a risk/reward system - flawless play speeds progression and can triple experience gains, encouraging high-skill runs.

The design encourages experimentation. You can discover and improve six active abilities and 15 passive levels, interact with a mysterious stranger who offers guidance between runs, and even turn enemy abilities to your advantage. Between runs you’ll encounter entertaining side events, and for replayability there are Easy and Normal modes plus an endgame challenge mode for players wanting extra difficulty.

If you like tight, adrenaline-driven arena combat and incremental progression that rewards mastery, Death Kid looks to be a compact, satisfying package. It’s best suited for players who appreciate learning enemy patterns, refining builds across multiple attempts, and pushing for flawless clears. The game promises a focused loop: clear floors, protect the souls, grow stronger, and see how far you can descend.
