Left-Right-Onwards is a fast, choice-driven roguelike.

Gates fall from the top in pairs — step left or right to pass through one, and that stat goes up or down. Shape your knight as the gates come, then fight the enemy that follows: tap ATTACK when it's charged, and dodge its projectiles by switching sides. Win, and a tougher level begins. Lose, and you start over.

Every run is different — the gates, the stats, and the enemies are all randomized.

This is an early prototype, actively in development. Feedback is very welcome!

How to play

  • Move: tap the left or right half of the screen, or use WASD/arrow keys
  • Gates: pass through one of each pair to change that stat (+ or −)
  • Attack: tap the ATTACK button when it fills up, or press Space
  • Dodge: the enemy fires from one side — move to the other to avoid it
  • Goal: survive and get as far as you can

Works with touch (mobile) and mouse/keyboard (desktop).
