How to Play

Getting started with Trouble Brewing is effortless—even if you’re brand new to platformers. Launch the game directly in your web browser on itch.io (it works flawlessly on desktop or mobile!). Use the arrow keys or on-screen touch controls to move, jump, and navigate the castle’s twisting towers, bustling taverns, and shadowy passages. Leap across platforms, duck into secret hideaways, and avoid the bumbling guards intent on dragging you back to a fate worse than boredom.

Along the way, interact with quirky NPCs (just tap or click to chat) to uncover secrets, spark new side quests, and make crucial decisions that impact the direction of your journey. Keep an eye out for glowing collectibles and hidden joke items—they’re easy to miss if you rush! Your choices matter: will you help your fellow rebels or cause a little mischief for your would-be betrothed? Branching storylines mean replaying unlocks even more secrets.

Beginner tips: Explore every nook—whether you're searching for alternate paths or hidden dialogue. Enjoy the scenery and dialogue, but don’t forget to experiment with platforming tricks like jumping from wall ledges or timing your dashes to dodge patrolling guards. Don’t worry if you miss something—a generous checkpoint system lets you retry tricky sections without frustration. Above all, savor the fun and follow the laughter; Trouble Brewing is as much about story and gut-busting comedy as it is about quick reflexes!
