Bosses change depending on your difficulty. Easy mode will see their attacks toned down, while Hard mode will make them even tougher, and buff their HP! You'll want to stock up on extra health and effects before heading into a boss on Hard mode, where even early foes can give you trouble.

You can play as the bunny in Emerald Squad

Helios can charge heat by running around, and holding down while attacking will allow him to use a heat charged version of the attack with fiery effects! He can even easily break through the ice that Paral guy has been putting everywhere!

While it's still incomplete, we've been working on a color option for visibility! This was a popular request among people following the game, so we're glad to make it a reality!

Hard mode is, well hard! When you've got barely any health to spare, every action counts. Play reckless, and well, it'll be lights out.

Make use of Selene's teleport circle to move quickly through stages, fly right past obstacles, or appear right behind an enemy to hit em from behind! Heh, nothing personal, kid.

One act not enough to get your Emerald Squad fill? Well that's alright! There's two of them now.
Every zone now comes in two acts! Double the stages, double the fun!

Telgallir is a kingdom behind the times. Located at the south most point of the land of Curanei and blocked off by mountains, it's heavily isolated from the other kingdoms. Its people still live relatively low tech lives while the rest of the world advances.

The princess of Telgallir who rejected her royal duties to instead become a hero who stands up for others. Jade is kind, supportive, and Selene's wife. With her mighty hammer, she can take down any threat! If only she could control her lightning ability...

Ann has always been easily frightened, but luckily she arms herself against her fears with a CYBERNETIC ENERGY BLASTER. She's a real powerhouse, able to use powerful shots to easily take down foes, but... her cyborg body makes her jumps heavier than everyone else...

Selene is a knowledgeable and skilled witch, acting as the brains of the team. She's a little shy, but but social anxiety be damned my gal can cast a spell! Thanks to her double jump, she's the perfect character to use in tricky platforming sections.
October 4, 2023 at 11:09 PM
Don't let his cold exterior fool you, Helios knows how to turn up the heat! As the second in command of the squad, he's a skilled fighter ready to aid his team in any way he can. His quick dashes make him the perfect character for speedruns!

Harmony is the leader of the Emerald Squad. She might lack self confidence, but she's willing to lay down her life to protect others. She's a well rounded defensive character good for less experienced players

The forces of the Demon King Aldark ravage the kingdom of Telgallir... and I'd say only you can stop it, but what can YOU do? Now the Emerald Squad on the other hand? They might be able to save the day. Watch the trailer here!

The Demon King Aldark rules over the island kingdom of Lithmor, and wishes only to conquer all of the kingdoms of Curanei as his own. To that end, he's sought out the legendary Emerald Flame. No one knows why his body is so dark and... gooey...

In the story of Emerald Squad, our five heroes, the titular Emerald Squad, must travel to a foreign kingdom in order to recover the mythical Emerald Flame from the Demon King Aldark, who is trying to harness its power for world domination
