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)

Update 2:

Made in-game timer stop when toof is picked up (you're welcome speedrunners)

Update 3:

Fixed regression from Update #1 where turning Tom to stone could crash the game (black screen)

Update 4:

Fixed regression from Update #1 where, if the main menu can't connect to NG (to re-send medals) on replay, the game crashes

Update 5:

Update to pet helper name
Fixed ngio requirement crash on main menu

Update 6:

Huuuuge thanks to @mike (founder of the Ruffle project), the canvas image-rendering mode is now "pixelated" making for a much crisper visual experience! He also worked his wizardry to make the rendering pixel-perfect on high DPI devices (4k+, retina, etc.)!
