Stop the Hero!
đ You are the final boss. He has infinite lives.
Stop the Hero! is a reverse platformer roguelike. You are Lord Grimhorn, and every night a little knight runs toward your castle. You don't play the hero — you build the level: spikes, pits, bats, flame wheels, crushers, saw blades, fire geysers and more.
The hero never runs out of lives. Every time he dies he remembers the spot, looks further ahead and makes fewer mistakes. Hold him until sunrise to win the level. Every 4 levels he reaches your castle — and you control the boss in a real-time fight (fire breath, ground slam, jump on him... or let him stomp your head).

đ§đ· VocĂȘ Ă© o chefe final. Ele tem vidas infinitas.
Stop the Hero! Ă© um plataforma roguelike ao contrĂĄrio. VocĂȘ Ă© o Lorde Grimhorn e toda noite um pequeno cavaleiro corre atĂ© o seu castelo. VocĂȘ nĂŁo joga com o herĂłi — vocĂȘ monta a fase: espinhos, buracos, morcegos, rodas de fogo, esmagadores, serras, gĂȘiseres e mais.
O herĂłi nunca fica sem vidas. Cada vez que morre ele lembra do lugar, enxerga mais longe e erra menos. Segure ele atĂ© o amanhecer para vencer a fase. A cada 4 fases ele chega ao seu castelo — e vocĂȘ controla o chefe numa luta em tempo real.
