Scale Death Trap Mountain to save your dog, Gil, from the dragon Xelthorak. A tough, rewarding platformer where skill, patience, and persistence are the keys to survival.

Climb. Fall. Rise again. In Death Trap Mountain, every jump counts. Set in the mysterious world of Holomundran, you play as Mitch, an ordinary adventurer on an impossible mission—to rescue his blue-furred dog, Gil, from the clutches of Xelthorak, an ancient dragon who believes devouring Gil’s experimental energy will grant him limitless power.
To reach the dragon’s lair, you must ascend Death Trap Mountain—a brutal vertical labyrinth filled with collapsing ledges, spinning blades, and gravity-defying puzzles. Every mistake sends you tumbling back down, but every climb teaches you something new.
Key Features:

Precision Platforming: Tight, responsive controls built for skill-based gameplay.

Evolving Challenges: Dynamic traps, puzzles, enemies and bosses.

A Heartfelt Quest: Save Gil, your one true companion, from Xelthorak’s hunger.

Atmospheric World: Handcrafted levels and that make gameplay unforgettable.

Easy to learn, hard to master: Perfect for fans of Jump King.
Can you conquer Death Trap Mountain and rescue Gil before Xelthorak unleashes his fury on Holomundran?
