Awesome game! That music is so good. Really reminds me of classic Mega Man music which is a great thing. The highlight of the game was the two bosses! Challenging but fun

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I’m happy that everyone is enjoying the game! It was a joy to make with the team and it’s awesome to see so many people having fun playing it. As a side note, the game is meant to be hard in the spirit of Roguelikes and there are no checkpoints in the spirit of permadeath. Don’t give up if you keep dying! Here are some tips:

-Don’t grapple enemies unless they are on the other side of pits

-Grapple onto walls to get away from bullets and fast melee enemies

-Explore everything before advancing to the next area (there are some pretty good powerups laying around)

-Don’t touch pits (like at all). The hit box for pits is a bit too big, so if you touch them, they will damage you.

-If the WebGL version doesn’t let you move with the WASD keys when you start the game reload the page cause that’s a glitch in the WebGL version.

And most importantly have fun and keep grappling!

@msipp27 The WebGL version can be a bit glitchy. Not entirely sure why, but enemies should die in pits if you grapple them from the other side of the pit. The enemies won’t voluntarily go into the pits, but grappling them in should work.

@ondy1985 You probably died unexpectedly because you touched the edge of a pit. Unfortunately, the hit box for the pits are too large, so instead of falling into them, when you touch the edge you take damage. Definitely something that would have been fixed if there was more time.

@tengusheath Thanks for the advice about the tutorial text. We’ll have to make it a bit less distracting next time around.

@pandepic Didn’t have time to add pathfinding AI to the enemies so they sometimes get stuck on walls because they are attempting to go toward the player but there is a wall in the way. Also, should have allowed the player to walk through enemies after getting damaged in order to avoid dying by being cornered by enemies. Thanks for the critique.

Awesome game! Even though I kept dying, I kept playing! The music is fantastic and I love the dodging mechanic for the enemies.

I really want to play this game cause I'm currently taking a class in low level CS stuff including assembly language. But I can't figure out how to download the game on Windows. I downloaded Python 3 and Blessed, but where do I type the "python3 game.py" command?
