About Castle on the Coast
Castle on the Coast is a hand-drawn, retro 3D collectathon that casts you as an adorable, parkouring giraffe named George!
Castle on the Coast is a bedazzling collectathon arcade platformer. George, a friendly giraffe, parkours through challenging levels full of crystal caverns, stone-laden halls, and trippy alternate dimensions, trying to bring together a family of the two powerful, conflicted wizards. In the co-op mode, he can use help from his squirrel friend called Swirlz.
Thanks to cooperation mode, even the youngest gamers will be able to enjoy George’s adventures, playing together with their friends or their sitters. Besides all the arcade fun, Castle on the Coast offers a more serious, moral angle. It will touch upon dealing with loss, conflict, and loving your enemies.
George the Giraffe is the official mascot of Valley Children’s Hospital in California. George has symbolized the love and care found at Valley Children’s there for nearly seven decades. “Adopted” as the hospital’s mascot by its five founding mothers, a giraffe was chosen because they have the largest heart of any land mammal. And that heart is present in the care provided at Valley Children’s every single day. Now, thanks to the cooperation between Valley Children’s, Big Heart Productions, and Klabater, the beloved giraffe will debut in a video game!
Help George explore the magical Castle on the Coast, home to crystal caverns, stone laden halls, and trippy alternate dimensions. Seamlessly wander from level to level with no loading screens in a large, interconnected world.
All is not well in this land, however. Two powerful wizards bear a grudge against their fellow orphans. Can George bring this family back together again, or will he just get in the way?
This giraffe can get anywhere, anytime! String together wall runs, wall jumps, spins, dives, rolls, and more with responsive controls. Carve new paths through levels in a quest to frustrate level designers. When cool moves aren't enough, don a jetpack or a rocket powered car to reach new heights.
Shove a plethora of goodies down your pockets as you explore! Flowers unlock new costumes, star keys unlock doors, and keystones... those unlock the looming central tower...
Player 2 can control George's sidekick: Swirlz the flying squirrel! Create helpful springy flowers, blast enemies with magic, or become a living parachute to slow George's descent. When George and Swirlz work together, nothing is impossible!

✦ AI summary
Players consistently praise the smooth platforming mechanics, exploration, and climbing systems that draw inspiration from classics like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Banjo-Kazooie. The game is widely appreciated for its fun, lighthearted tone and charming presentation, though some find the story overly sweet and predictable, with the overall difficulty being on the easier side. Despite minor narrative quibbles, it's highly recommended for platformer fans seeking an enjoyable, heartfelt experience.
I loved every minute of the 5.2 minutes I played this game. You can definitely see DNA of so many various games here: Crash, Spyro, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie. The platforming is so great, the verticality and climbing is smooth and consistent. The story is fun, even if it is predictable. If Big Heart Productions were to ever make a sequel, I would buy it day one in a heartbeat! IF you are a fan of platformers or a fan of any of the games that it borrows DNA from listed above, BUY AND PLAY THIS GAME!1 found this helpful
Delightful platformer. Has strong roots in a Hat in Time. Lots of heart. Even if this game wasn't helping a children's hospital, it would still be completely worthwhile on its own legs.
This has to be the silliest game I randomly found. Love the platform mechanics and how unserious this game is. Heavily recommended if you want something not serious but fun!
a very nice fun platformer where you can explore the levels and collect things. It might not be the most challenging but it is fun to navigate the levels especially with its parkour mechanics
The story is sickeningly sweet and clearly aimed at someone younger than me, but the platforming and exploration is fantastic so I muted the story and just had fun with the gameplay. An easy game to recommend to lovers of the genre.
Game good.
