Could you provide binaries? :)
Sorry can't run no web version
@manabreak Sorry, was still packaging the game. They're up now!
@mrexcessive Please download a binary for your corresponding operating system.
Pretty good. Felt very streamlines and fast-pased.
Wasn't a big fan of the music but audio was fine otherwise.
Would be nice if monsters were visible so you could plan ahead/avoid encounters if possible, but a lot of fun none the less.
The controls were a little bit disorientating and I found myself simply going by the minimap. The beeps and boops were classic, but a little hard on the ears. None of the encounters felt really meaningful and any that did felt out of my control.
Nice technical work!
I really like the style. I kinda feel like monster encounters should be more frequent though.
The controls were fluid and fast, great jam game.
Pretty cool, although on 50/50 and especially hard difficulty exploring the map is pointless because the more you explore the more chance bad stuff will happen.
Pretty fun game. Interesting way to use the Love engine!
~funkeh
The dungeon crawling elements are definitely there, and they aren't too far from being well-balanced, as is. The changes in art over time were a great touch, and the humour was classic MSS.
I might consider an alternative to the minimap, though. Once I got used to using it, it was all I looked at. Maybe have the compass show the direction to the exit?
The music rocks! I enjoyed the humorous popups immensely.
Fantastic. To think you wrote this using vim within 48 hours is incredible.
Some stat tweaks would have made it perfect. Dropping your sword or shield is rather punishing, and gold is too sparce.
Oh boy, a first-person crawler!
The game engine works great. Events got a bit repetitive, especially on the last map where I'd get one Every. Single. Step. I. Made, and seemed obsessed with cracking/breaking my non-existing weapon and shield, but that's fine.
Good fun. Well done!
Fun Game! The dialogs were AWESOME, haven't beat it yet (still playing) but nice job. Liked the graphics, usually not my thing, but they really worked for this theme I think.
Just wondering, were the things that happened such as "you found (blank) inscribed on a wall" and stuff like that chosen at random times? Or did they happen at set locations? I've told a crazy programmer wants me dead over 5 times now:P
But overall, great game, one of the best I've played so far!
Reminds me of the old dungeon crawlers. I was sad to find that you couldn't see the monsters and felt like I couldn't really do anything to change the outcome of the fights...
I liked the music! Game was pretty cool too, it reminded me of the good ol' days!
good job
neat dungeon crawler, but I had to run from way too many fights due to constantly having my sword/shield "broken" and being basically defenseless most of the time.
Nicely done! Good to see another theme included.
<step>
"You found a shield in perfect condition."
:)
<step>
"Your shield cracks."
:|
Seemed like I could *always* avoid battles if I run away, but never could seem to win them. I was playing "My body is ready" mode.
Really neat graphical trick. I'd love to try making something like this, some time. Your next challenge is to make a raycaster in LOVE. ;)
Nostalgia! Reminds me of Dungeons of Daggorath on the TRS-80.
dat beat
Impressive.
I just run away from monster, because I did not have a sword when facing one. Good music and a nice game.
It was pretty fun playing. I liked the music and the controles but the good and bad encounters where missing some visualisation for me. Just a little picture of the vendor, item or enemy you encounter would be great. Later in the game i nearly ignored the encounters and concentrated on the movement only.
Still good job =)
Good job :) Very impressive to think that you made this with vim as a compo. It's a promising game and I hope to see more features in the post-compo. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! This game was great :D
It would have been ice to have some graphics for items, monsters and other characters, but other than that, it was really good.
Nice job :D
I really enjoyed the game. I like the idea of trying to implement a 3D environment when using a 2D framework. I had a lot of fun with it.
I think the way you implemented the difficulty settings is quite interesting. Instead of just say changing the probability of defeat or something, the % of good / bad events, when you consider that defeated monsters give you gold... could be interesting.
That said, I'm a huge baby and ran from every monster I saw, taking baths whenever possible. Neat game, though I wish you had a little bit more control over your destiny - I don't know if you're actually being stalked by a big beast or something, but I did sort of feel a bit like I was hunting a Wumpus.
Also, pretty neat to do something like this in a 2D framework. I can think of a really inelegant way to do it, though it'd be cool if there's a little more going on behind the scenes.
