Our entry for the Stop Killing Games Community Jam 2026!  We hope you enjoy it! 

Crown Chasers is a fast, hand-drawn couch party brawler played on a floating platform. Grab the crown, hold your ground, and don't get knocked off the edge. We hope you enjoy it!

There's one crown and it's worth +1 point every second you wear it. Chase it down, dash rivals off the platform, block and parry their attacks — and be the one on top when the clock runs out.

How It Plays

• Whoever holds the crown scores a point every second — steal it and keep it to climb the ranking.
• The crown starts in the centre; walk onto it to pick it up, or dash into the holder to knock it loose.
• Get bumped off the platform and you're out — time a barrier perfectly to parry an attack and send the attacker flying instead.
• Game includes story mode and versus    with local multiplayer!
