About this game
Late for Class: Variety King is a punishing game that challenges you to master a variety of movement mechanics as you climb your way to school through a bizarre world full of obstacles. It is a homage to popular punishing games and mechanics, a 'remix' that combines them all in 1 game.
- Falling…a lot. In "Late for Class: Variety King", falling is just part of the journey. With 9 movement mechanics to master, you will need to push through the tough spots to come out on top.
- No checkpoints. Falling from some places will set you back to the start, but from others, you'll only fall partway, giving you a chance to recover and keep going.
- Chill practice mode. Separate from the main climb, simple and small practice rooms offer a chill ‘no-consequences’ environment to practice the basics of each movement mechanic and help you prepare for the main level's unpredictable challenges.
- Collectables. Collect them all in one run to prove you are not scared of taking a harder path. Completely optional, just to flex how good you are.
- Easter Eggs. Late for Class is a tribute to the games and memes that inspired it. Earn achievements and uncover hidden easter eggs as you journey to school and have some fun along the way.
- Immortalize yourself. Pull off impressive tricks and speedruns and you could be immortalized in game with your own Easter egg! Join the Discord channel for more details.
