The game looked great and with a nice mood! I loved the intro menu and how it was integrated into the game! That was awesome! I went down a few levels, but I didn't find any more weaponries than the sword you start out with? Could I upgrade myself, or was the goal mainly to collect rubies and go as deep down as possible?
Great game. I like the sprites and the procedural mazes work great. How did you make them? It works in Linux using Wine.
How does this tie in with the "One Room" theme?
@TheMightyTeam I'm glad you liked it! You can read about the procedural generation here: http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Cellular_Automata_Method_for_Generating_Random_Cave-Like_Levels
@RedPanda I tried making the cave "one big room". It didn't work out as well as I had hoped.
Looks very nice and was fun to play. The levels were great. I wish there was some music or something in the background though.
Looks awesome. I wish my game looked half as good as yours.
What tools did you use to create this?
I can't believe such simple game gave me so much fun and that skeleton's "stupidy" is an actual mechanic :)
Really clean and smooth game play! Loved the art, only thing it might need is more enemies and some music!
Game is pretty good in general.
Would require more refining, but the main idea is nice.
Very pleasant gameplay and graphics. Great and accurate job. I sense good experience from author :)
Goog game idea but gets boring pretty fast. It could be a little bit more faster imo
I like how you used implementation of procedural levels, the choice of going for a more simplistic style was also good. Although for me it really lacked some juiciness to keep it fun for a longer period of time.
Quality implementation. Good idea. Continue to work on the project - will be a good game! )
Nice art feeling, shame you didn't include graphics category. Great level generation too. I was scoring it mostly as a roguelike/adventure foundation, so I'm ok with the content amount. Minimap and some sounds would be great(it's usually worth to neglect some graphics polishing to add at least very minimal sound effects, at least in LD). Keep up the good job.
Good game, well polished and the level generation is great. I would have appreciated more content like more weapons or more enemies, but I guess it's a lack of time.. Well done !
A little tweak to the skellies would make this more challenging, which I think it may need? Consider a ranged attack for example.
Cool little rogue-like! Loved the background graphics of this :)
The fighting system was pretty basic imo, really just mashing a button at the right time. Maybe just having an additional ranged weapon and enemies with ranged attacks would have added more variety. I also discovered you can play the whole game without ever attacking anyone, simply outrunning them, which is nice.
The character animations were really nice. I feel like the characters could have used some simple shading, as used in the background, to link it better together.
Also music! As3sfxr would have been good enough to create some sound effects :) And maybe even try autotracker for the music.
All in all a cool little roguelike with really nice background graphics and animations!
classic - but not sure it fits the theme. nice entry.
Nice game, I agree with other comments that a little more content would be nice but overall pretty fun game
