'Sir Plump' (ALL) Announced, Seeks Crowd Funding - Trailer

Sir Plump is a 2D action platformer game exploring the gripping world of the Middle Ages with detailed animations in the footsteps of Disney classics.

Bringing back the mood and quality of your childhood’s favorite animated films, this game is a 2D game of skill, set in the Middle Ages with several surprises and modern elements built in.     

The main character, the eponymous Sir Plump, is a clumsy character with a big heart and an even bigger belly! Throughout the game, Sir Plump wants to save his love, Princess Selfie, who has been captured by an evil witch. While Sir Plump rushes towards the castle where his love is held hostage, he always makes sure to support those in need when he meets them on his journey.

The game features a lot of humor and even some irony and also comically reflects several modern-day problems, so you’ll be able to connect with this cartoon world’s tongue-in-cheek fun. 


As teenagers of the 90’s, we all loved to play those Disney platform games like Aladdin and Lion King. They were easy to pick up, had charm, yet presented some old-school challenge even for the most avid platformer fans. We would like to re-create this experience with detailed 2D animations and a hand drawn Fairy Tale world with funny characters, epic boss fights and a lot of humour.

To bring the kingdom alive, we are creating heavily animated segments like we find in a Dragon’s Lair but as a side-scrolling platformer.Looking for deep enemy design, our goal is to make the malevolent critters in Sir Plump’s way just as lively and interesting as our main character. They react to the environment, Sir Plump’s actions and even to each other in unexpected, hilarious ways.Most monsters can be dispatched easily by one of Sir Plump’s basic actions: jump, sword slash or ground pound. But each beast has unique states that can be activated by the other two actions (like jumping on a monster that needs to be ground pounded or hitting a monster that’s weakness is jumping, etc.). 

Hungarian independent studio Gamelab has launched a kickstarter campaign looking for $50,000.

New Orc, the city where the game begins, is a magical place. It not only describes the fantastic creatures there, but while this medieval fairyland is full of the most incredible enchanted beasts, there are also some modern-day gadgets and tools run by wizardry. 

New Orc has a huge capital where Princess Selfie and her father, the king, lives and rules. An endless mythical forest lies beyond the gates of the city with ancient secrets hiding inside it. The story leads us through unimaginable adventures, deadly enemies and traps, surprising players with its twists and turns. 

Explore this astounding country, surpass the savage terrain whilst selflessly helping those in need, then find out what truly lies behind the great misfortunes that have recently been disturbing the peace in this prosperous kingdom.  

Never judge a book by its cover. Sir Plump is the hero of our story. Yes, he may be a tiny bit clumsy and have a pot belly, but he also has a heart of gold! Sir Plump’s mission is to save the kingdom from the most evil forces and win the heart of the charming and beautiful Princess Selfie. He is brave as a lion, and he offers his loyal services with a big smile while respecting the Knights’ Code of Chivalry most of all. He will not rest until Good finally overcomes Evil and all the innocent souls of New Orc are safe from harm.

Princess Selfie is the classic damsel in distress. She is an outstanding beauty and the only daughter of her father, the widowed King of New Orc. As an only child and her warm-hearted father’s only ray of sunshine, she may be a little spoiled. That’s why she became…well…kind of self-centered. Being busy making selfies with her magical phone all the time, she has no interest in running her father’s prosperous kingdom. So, the good king is now looking for an heir who is fit to take care of his beloved subjects.

Sir Selfish is someone you definitely don’t want to cross is any way. He might be charming and good looking, but don’t let him fool you! Deep in his heart he is just a backstabbing, dishonest fraud. No trick is too dirty for him. He looks for nothing but wealth. Lacking of any true skills, he brags about achievements he could have never earned on his own. He manipulates and uses everyone for nothing but his self-interests. If Sir Plump should fail, it is unbearable to think about Selfish becoming the new ruler of the kingdom…
