Our take on Castle on the Coast
The defining structure is co-op assistance from Swirlz, a flying squirrel whose abilities can create platforms, attack enemies, and slow George’s descent.
What is Castle on the Coast?
Play as George, a giraffe who uses parkour to explore a magic castle, crystal caverns, stone halls, and alternate dimensions.
The levels form a connected world with no loading screens. George can run along walls, jump between them, spin, dive, and roll, while a jetpack and rocket-powered car provide other ways to reach places. Collect flowers to unlock costumes, star keys to open doors, and keystones to access the central tower. In co-op, a second player controls Swirlz, a flying squirrel who can create springy flowers, use magic against enemies, or slow George’s fall as a living parachute. The story involves two wizards in conflict and themes of loss and loving one’s enemies.
