Woah very clever idea! Also the naked man is damn fun ahahahahahha I had really a good time playing this game. But please, release a WebGL version if you can! Loved the Pixelart (was it made with Aseprite?) Nice work for using your own framework also!
Thanks for this entry and have a nice day!
Ooooh ;) nice to see such lewd gfx :) 5 for humor :)
The game initially didn't work because the OpenAL dll was not found; I could simply download and install it but I think it would be better to include it. There were more DLLs I did not have for the debug version, but the normal one worked fine with that one extra DLL.
The game itself was quite interesting and fun. I liked the "only one item at a time" mechanic in principle, but I didn't like the "learn the items" part of it very much. I don't think having to play the same rooms all over again is a fun mechanic. I think it would have worked much better if the chests were transparent, maybe with a few more rooms and more interesting "what item do I take", "do I take this bad item or defeat an extra enemy" or "in what order do I do these things" puzzles. The sound was pretty good, but the music a bit repetitive after a while. The graphics were quite nice.
Had to install OpenAL to run the game but that was a minor problem.
I really liked the graphics and the gameplay was fun but a bit basic. Two things I think would make it better is that first it would be great if you could maybe first open the chest and then see what it is and the second is that, yes the chests always contained the same type of items but how good they were was different each time. Sometimes I got a stick and other times I got a 9mm making it a bit harder to plan my way.
Another small thing was that the UI was hiding behind the level sometimes :smile:
I had Visual Studio Runtime Error two times, but it was fun while it lasted :) Good graphics!
I played for quite some time until a runtime error appeared. But I really liked the game. Honestly I just respawn until I get a God t-shirt, and then I'm too OP and I kill every monster (until I need to get another chest). I like the concept, love that you put the source code at github too and it's your own engine!
@florian-van-strien I have the same exact thoughts about the chest showing what type of item it contains, I've updated the game (locally not published yet) so that the chests shows the item type, by simply having a sword icon etc on the chest sprite! Thanks for the feedback.
@suchista & @sohakes The runtime error might be some memory leak or some other pesky bug, not encountered it myself but I'll try to look for it and fix it! Thanks for playing! The OpenAL should be statically linked into my .exe so that's weird I'll look into it and try to fix it, people shouldn't have to download OpenAL to play the game correctly (:
@sublustris Thanks! the little blur on the player was a last minute addition realizing that drawing genitals might offend/be inappropriate for some audiences.
Thanks you all for trying the game AND giving me feedback like this!
As others mentioned, maybe knowing which item is contained in the chest prior to opening it would allow for a deeper strategy, maybe also allowing just one use per item, to balance it out choosing in which monster you use it besides order and just peeking in every chest and getting the best thing for the moment (strength if high HP, defense if low HP, hearts always).
I can't play windows games. Screen shots and description are interesting, have you recorded a video with the gameplay?
I liked the Graphics, and the Gameplay was fun, Nice Game. :thumbsup:
@andrei9 Thanks!
