Ryan and Jon of Stone Monkey Studios present this hand-crafted adventure starring the brave borrower Redbeard. Antagonize the human scum and drive them from your home.
All of the content was created by the two of us within the 72 hour competition period with one exception: a few of the icons we used were created by Lorc (links included at the bottom to the Reddit thread and OpenGameArt.org sources). Big thanks to him, and a big thanks to you for playing!
After taking some of your feedback, we have also released updated builds of the game on our website. These builds represent the game as it was meant to be played (but are officially not part of the competition-- they are meant only for personal enjoyment :P).
Fixes included in the updated versions:
-Added joystick support for Windows and Mac.
-Updated the splash screen with scripted visuals and information on the new control schemes.
-Changed the player camera!
-Human AI fixes (now the detection ray is cast from the head and he can no longer spot the character out of his buttocks).
Controls:
Move with WASD.
Run with Shift (slight speed boost)
Click on sparkling objects to perform actions with them.
