Smooth Criminal

A game inspired by Michael Jackson.

Enter dungeons, dodge traps, and fight enemies to get to the vault and loot it's relic.

A man of unknown identity once heard rumors of secret magical relics hidden deep within dark and heavily guarded dungeons. Driven by greed, an almost unreasonable amount of confidence, and a talent for getting into places he shouldn't, he set out to find one of them.

After months, he discovered one of these dungeons and managed to steal its relic without being seen or caught. It granted him a unique ability to quickly dash in any direction without moving a limb.

Rather than being satisfied with his first relic, his success only fueled his greed for more. He began searching for other hidden dungeons, each said to contain its own mysterious relic and power. Being uncaught, he started styling on his foes by dancing and straight-up ignoring them. To add a little more charm to his unknown identity, he calls himself the Smooth Criminal.

This game is best played with a keyboard.
