About this game
Danger Cliff is a 2D Collectathon Platformer that harkens back to the golden age of internet browser games. You play as Clifford--an overwhelmingly positive young adventurer--followed by his best friend Boxer. One day while the duo was out exploring a set of mysterious sky ruins, Boxer's home starship was blown out of the sky! With no one more competent willing to help, Clifford and Boxer volunteer to explore several huge zones in search of the ship's missing parts before whoever shot it down can get their hands on them.
Gameplay: In classic Collectathon style, you start off in a hub world with access to only one level containing several collectables. The more collectables you get, the more new levels you unlock! Eventually, you'll unlock a super-tough boss course which, upon completion, will grant you access to the next set of levels!
Cone Rush: Clifford's signature move! When activated, he'll transform into a drill and fly in the direction held. This can be done once horizontally and once upward before needing to recharge by landing. Many of the game's challenges are too large to tackle with a standard jump, so mastery of the Cone Rush is critical! On top of that, there are additional moves such the Air Dash and Power Jump which are not required to beat the game, but allow skillful players to pull off some crazy tricks!
Content: The game contains 19 main courses, each with multiple objectives. There are also several extra levels, including dedicated final boss and secret final boss levels, 7 endless challenge rush stages, harder rematches against 6 major bosses, unlockable challenge modes, and more! With a high level of skill, players can beat the final boss after around 2.5 hours of gameplay, while completing the game by getting all 100 collectables will take around 5 hours (First time playthroughs will likely take much longer).

Version 1.3.0 - The "& Dragons" Update
Major changes: - MAPS!!! You can now hold the M key or Right Control Stick to view a map of the level with markers for: - Uncollected Flash Drives - The *newly added* Dragon Medal Fragments - Level exits, switches, etc. that are required to access certain Flash Drives - Warp-TVs, etc. - 20 new collectables known as “Dragon Medal Fragments” can now be found throughout the game! - Collecting 4 Dragon Medal Fragments will permanently increase your Max Health by 1! - Collecting all 20 Dragon Medal Fragments will unlock a special new move for Clifford! (Can also be activated on new files after collecting them all at least once). - Several new Jagon NPCs, each with a dialogue. - You can track which Dragon Medal Fragments you’ve found from the “Flash” section of the pause menu. Other Changes: - Added the option to disable VSync. Disabling it may improve performance, but can cause visual issues (screen tearing). - Tutorial boss now takes 4 hits to defeat instead of 8. - Fixed issue where some hits against Gloveboxer wouldn’t register. - Merely touching the final boss while Hyper will now damage it; Rushing is no longer required. This doesn’t really affect the difficulty and is mainly to prevent confusing moments if you cancel the rush too early. - Mecha Crispadon rematch has been made more challenging; you can no longer camp on the permanent platforms. - Boxer no longer rotates toward collectables. He instead marks the locations of collectables on the map. - Some dialogues, specifically the one when entering Construction Chaos for the first time, have been altered. - Accommodations have been made for an unintentional skip that allows you to access Clockwork Scrapheap early; it is now intentional and you can access a couple other Floor 2 levels early by performing it. - Adjusted some sounds that were too loud. - Fixed a few weird visuals.Read full article on Community Announcements (Danger Cliff)Patch NotesOfficial
