Death By Scrolling

Achievements
Welcome to Death By Scrolling, a rogue-like vertically scrolling RPG set in the chaotic depths of Purgatory, now under new management! Choose your character - each with unique perks and abilities, and race upward through endless levels. Battle bizarre monsters, dodge death itself, and collect gems to pay the Ferryman’s exorbitant fee: 10,000 gold! With each screen inching upward, time is never on your side. Outsmart the Grim Reaper, grab power-ups, complete quirky side quests, and shop from vendors mid-run. Stay alive, pay your dues, and maybe, just maybe, you'll cross that river.
