Debuting in 2008, Castle Crashing the Beard was a spoof on Tom Fulp's efforts toward what would become the smash hit, Castle Crashers. He refused to shave until CC was complete! Some say his beard took on a mind of its own... Today (2021), we've revisited this little gem to show how far we've come in 12 years! Can you unlock all 8 animal buddies?
With added support for mobile, gamepads, local multiplayer, and other goodies, hopefully this serves up new surprises + nostalgia. We also hope it continues to inspire others, as the gaming community has inspired us over the years. Thanks for playing!
Note: "P" to pause, "Y" to mute, and "R" to restart
Update 1:
- NERFED SKELETONS (you wimps...)
- pressing "A" to restart at death and ending works now
- resend medals to NG on title screen
- if playing single player with no controller attached, in-game prompt for super move says "Press A + S" rather than "Press A + X"
- corrected instructions key-mapping in NG description
- Fixed bug where laser warning would stay on-screen if you stoned Tom with "Rocky" while it was showing
- hide CC body when grave spawns at death (unless final death)
