Welcome to Draydoll. 

A thread of fate binds the kingdom’s prosperity to the wellness of its ruler. An ancient evil has rendered the monarch, King Linen, throne-ridden for decades, and thus doomed the lands to poverty and famine. Play as Cotton, a doll whittled by a late Spinstress and animated by her love and desire to heal her kingdom. After recklessly storming the Royal grounds, she finds herself captured and must participate in combat to reclaim her freedom.

Goal:

Reach 20,000 Knots (currency). 
After acquiring them, You can then cash them in to the left of "Start Wave".

Controls: [🎮Controller Support!]

  • WASD [Left Stick] to Move
  • Left Click [West Face Button] to Attack

Unlockable Skills: (Purchased in the Crypt)

  • Right Click [East Face Button/Right Bumper] to Parry
    • Left Click [West Face Button] after a successful parry to Counter Attack

  • Spacebar [South Face Button/Left Bumper]  to Whorl

Torque:

Many actions (movement, successful hits, etc) build torque, the driving force behind Cotton's arsenal.  Skills also come at a cost of torque, but generate more if used effectively. The higher your torque, the quicker you move, and thus the quicker you kill enemies, netting you more money. Proper torque management is the key to success.
