Want to be rich and famous? Why not try streaming?

There's been talks of a new game released recently. Isn't this the perfect opportunity to stream it for more viewers? A rare opportunity to join the bandwagon, maybe you'll blow up this time! Though, something feels a little unsettling...

Donkathon is roguelite survival game with an end in sight. Players will go through a fixed amount of levels and bosses in order to reach the end of the game. Maybe, you'll also learn some lessons along the way...

Tips

• Use the shortcuts + to move items around much faster.
• Viewers can provide very useful information on game mechanics. Read their messages for various tips.
• When rerolling items, the coloured bar represents the expected tier reward (hovering an item shows its tier and colour). If your "Path" is set to an item of that tier, it is guaranteed as one of the results.
  
  
• DO NOT TAKE ANY STATEMENTS THAT APPEAR IN THIS GAME AS REAL-LIFE ADVICE.

Clarifications / FAQs

• What can be expected from future updates?

  Definitely more enemies, stages and items. Probably some other unlocks that may or may not affect gameplay but nothing is really set in stone yet so we'll see. Also much more terrible NPC dialogue.

• Will this game have a steam version and will it be free?

  Whatever is posted on itch.io (aka the demo) is free. if the game develops to completion, the full version will most likely cost something, but I doubt it'd be very expensive. It's too early to think about a steam release.

• Why is (insert content here) so buggy?

  I work on pretty much everything myself, including programming, art, sfx, testing, etc without any external help. That's why I decided to release this at this stage, to gauge people's interest in the game concept and get f̶r̶e̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶b̶o̶u̶r̶ players to help debug, test and balance the game.

• Will this game have controller support?

  Maybe one day (I don't have a controller to test).
