Introduction
Princess Goldblade and the Dangerous Waters is a retro-style side-scrolling platform game set in a magical world where friendly creatures called Trinks live on an island. Princess Goldblade bravely protects the Trinks, but water monsters have stolen their treasure.
Players control Princess Goldblade as she traverses levels filled with monsters, traps, and challenges to retrieve the stolen treasure and save the Trinks. The game features vibrant graphics, simple controls, and a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic Super Nintendo platform games like Super Mario.

Gameplay
- Navigation and platforming:
- Run from left to right, jumping over gaps, obstacles, and water hazards.
- Collect yellow and pink diamonds scattered throughout each level (22 diamonds per level, plus one gem). Rabbits in the game indicate how many collectibles are available.
- Touch vertical gray bars with gems to activate checkpoints, which save progress and restore health.
- Combat:
- Use the attack button (C or swipe down) to defeat water monsters, which vary in behavior and attack patterns.
- Find clever ways to bypass or eliminate enemies, as some require strategic timing or positioning.
- Levels and progression:
- The game consists of 8 levels, accessed via an overview map. You must complete each level to unlock the next, but you can revisit previous levels to collect missed items.
- The overview map tracks collected diamonds and gems for each level.
- Lives and difficulty:
- Princess Goldblade has infinite lives, so dying restarts you at the last checkpoint without penalty.
- The game is relatively easy, focusing on nostalgic fun rather than intense challenge, though some strategy is needed for certain enemies and traps
