You are right, this kind of game needs a video so I'll try to upload a gameplay video on youtube soon, for now, here are a couple of screenshots.

The game progression is like in KnightmareTower - the game is basically a one looong level which you try (and fail) to beat many times, but you collect coins (or whatever it ends up being in the final game) to purchase various upgrades to help you.

The game mechanics are like a more complicated Canabalt or Vector, since it's built for the controller from the start.

The graphics you see here will change,it's mostly placeholder stuff.
