Dig-Dug Dungeon

after playing for a while game starts lagging and almost crashed my browser. Anyway , idea is awesome.

Great effort, lovely dungeon keeper clone - "WHY AREN'T THERE GOATS?" :-)

@celsyum - thanks for the feedback. What browser where you playing in?

This gets its high rating from me, not from innovation (DK), but from awesome music and the funny things the minions say, and the fact that it's a fully functioning RTS in 48 hours!
This is surely how DK would have looked on the C64 ;)

wow wow wow WOW WOW WOW I WANT MOAR.

ADD A KICKSTARTER AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY MONEY :)

5 stars <3

@DST and @har_g: You guys! Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words.

The music was fun, the game was too. Though the music kept getting off sometimes. Nice work.

@joekinley: sorry about that. The plugin I use to generate the chiptune sounds with bugs out when I export tracks to mp3.

Dungeon Keeper in my browser? Yay for that. Although it feels a bit slow having only one minion.

@Smaxx- In the help file and on the splash screen I detail the commands. C + Left click to buy extra minions

"Oh you are a cruel master!"
Loved this game!

Had a lot of fun digging around (I love fortress design!) but got frustrated with the AI hanging. Tried to widen some hallways in my base, but that ended up freezing it permanently. Put some kind of failure condition in your (I assume it's pathfinding), add a few types of entities, and I could spend hours on this. Great soundtrack, too.

The IA works very well, nicely done. Also music is nice.

@metadept: Thanks for the feedback. What browser were you playing in?

No first person possession? No can do dude 0/10.

...

Really nice game there. Could've used some more variety, but the lovely music (made me SID-nostalgic) made up for it.

There's one very big problem though. It doesn't work like it should.

Google Chrome/Komodo Dragon freezes after a while and Firefox is just too slow like stated. Haven't tried any other browsers.

I should mention that my computer kinda sucks though.

I love what I have seen. Unfortunately it froze after a while and even after 10 minutes it is still not responsive at all. The music is awesome.

I loved the music and once I figured out the somewhat unusual controls I had a good time building out my dungeon! Both times I played I died unexpectedly -- I didn't see any knights near my reaper at all, they all looked to be in some other box. :( Maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention. A good entry!

AWESOME GAME! I love this. At first I almost gave up because I couldn't figure it out, but once I did, I loved it. This deserves a full release.....make it happen!

A wonderful little game! With a clear goal, you want to keep going and you are very satisfied when you succeed! unfortunately my game froze when i was about to kill my first enemy, but still a great game!

Hero seems to be missing.

@Suese: How so? The heroes spawn in rooms in random locations at the edges of the map.

The game looks awesome and I can really the amount of effort that went in this.
Great graphics and mood as well. However I would have loved a button for "deselect all", rigt now it can get very messy if you move your mouse incorrectly :D

It was interesting and I really liked it. Just I couldn't figure out how to add more minions even after I was pressing C+Left Click, then again I'm on a laptop so it's a little awkward.

Good fun, and very satisfying to dig around with your minions, but suffered from a significant performance drop after a while (just after I came across enemies, I think)

Awesome! I really enjoy to play it!
All is good : it's fun, nice, a good music,and I don't encountered any bug or lag, even with 22 minions.

Wow, incredible! Amazingly complex for 48 hours, but presented in an easily digestible manner. Really enjoyed this - my only complaint would be that it was a bit too easy. Great job!

Nice dungeon digger with cool atmosphere :D

Enjoyed playing it however it took me a lot of diggin before finding heroes to kill and relics which made the game a bit repetitive. Maybe smaller map or more actions! I might have been unlucky with the randomly generated map (?) though.

btw your username is awesome ;D

I started this thinking 'I probably won't be playing this for very long'. 15 minutes later I was still exploring. Very addictive gameplay, paced very well and tons of potential. Great work!

Nice idea.

Surprisingly brilliant. Didn't want to stop but had to go to dinner. Bookmarked!

Great to have a dungeon keeper in a browser! Could be very nice with some added complexity and higher difficulty !
Cool tune too.

I had a very good time on this game.
Music is good, things are pretty simple to play, great game !!!
Only thing ashame with the HTML5 dev is that it lags after a while even with chrome.
But kudos for the game !

As everybody else said : great game. So much done in 48 hours !!!

I really enjoyed tunneling up to the enemy bases. I also had the slowdown issue. I was using Chrome. It went away after a fight. Right before it seemed that half my (so 12-ish) guys were attempting to engage two heroes through the wall. Both my guys and the heroes seemed to have seen each other and would not move. Not sure if that helps, but I hope it does.

@tim_u: Thanks for detailing when your game crashed. They shouldn't be able to see enemies through walls but I'll check the code anyway. Thanks again.

Loved it! Played it through to completion. Sent it to my friends. Excellent work.
Had some sever slow-down issues once the I had a few minions, but it went away when they killed some of the adventurers.

Very cool sound, like it.

This was awesome. Generated terrain, moaning minions, gold and hero-smashing! I encountered the slowdown too at one point, it happens when the imps get confused on how to build a path when you have a bigger area between open areas marked to dig out, they build walls and dig and sort of lock themselves in probably making the pathfinding grind to a halt. Mine got out of that situation tho and I finished the game fine! Good mood, humour and tone.

Nice simple dwarf fortress! Well done!

I really interesting little game. The mechanics are really interesting and spent a lot of time playing this.

The music you made is quite nice after you get used to it. And I liked how you represented what was going on in the game.

Not bad at all. Only thing I would have added was the ability to kill your minions - you are death after all.

Quite enjoyed this, great effort...!

Very awesome!

Excellent dungeon keeper clone, quite amazing to do all this in such a short time.

Awesomness !!! Very fun to play ! It's remind me a beat of "Dungeon keeper" . The game is so well, i can't stop thinking "it's have'nt been made in two day !?"
Even the help line were fun !
Whoua ! I just look at my watch. I have been playing since 2Hours !
GREAT WORK ! Best summition so far !

Really really nice, I passed a realy long time playing

somes things :
- music can't be cut
- scrolling is to slow
- Clic is not realy accurate and don't work fine lot of time (Firefox)

little things, rest are great
thank

@Manest: Thanks for the feedback but you really shouldn't be playing it on FF. It has probably the worst JS performance in this game.

Very cool idea. I also liked how you made the instructions sit in their own page, that was helpful.

Superb! Making a realtime stretagy game by yourself alone in 48 hours is amazing. I am thinking the pace is too slow or things too scarce for now, but still this is a very cool minimalistic RTS.

Great game happening here. I was expecting digdug, but it's way better.

Great game! Really enjoyed playing it, probably will even play it again later. Good job!

Very fun. I ended up victorious with like 20 minions.

Great work. More variety would be good.

Also, it eventually slowed down to an absolute crawl - think I may have marked too many places for mining?

NIce job! Fun gameplay and I love that the minions have their own little personalities :D

Nice Dungeon Keeper de-make.

Very fun game! I haven't even gotten to the heroes yet and I'm having a blast just digging to gold veins. Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but it seemed to be tracking my mouse at the center of the pointer image instead of the top left, and that was kind of frustrating for placing beds or clicking on certain tiles.

The character looks like characters from realm of the mad god =O your game is cool XD

Overall fun game; Clicking stuff felt a little buggy at times, and the art could use work. Other than that though, great work! Could be further expanded on into something amazing. :)

awww, very cute! I also liked the depressing music!

Great game, my favorite so far! I even beat it. :)
Is the GL stuff from a framework?

This is amazing. Great job!

Absolutely great entry. There's something inherently attractive in these 'dig terrain' games :D

Great interpretation of DunKeep. Misses a little something for combat :)

I played your game for like 45 minutes without realizing it. I also love your clever non-use of goats.

This really kept me going for some time.

Nice game. I loved the dialogs and the humor!

Music is awesome but too loud.

Liked the game idea.
It took me to long to find any heroes?

Excellent game! I enjoyed playing it and had to replay it some times, because one time definitely was not enougt! Good job.

Love the music!

Remembered me Dwarf fortress. Nice idea but need more things, and lagged my browser a lot

A wonderful game. The music was good, the graphics decent, and the gameplay was fun.

It would've been nice to be able to drag a selection of where you want the minions to dig; constantly clicking got annoying after a while.

Excellent work here, you should continue this !

Neat little dungeon building game, pretty fun although there wasn't that much dungeon building involved. Could've done with more variety.

Nice entry :) Took me a while to get it though (the bottom bar wouldn't show until I switch to full screen)
Works perfectly on Opera (Linux) btw

Wow, I really had fun playing your game, good job :)

Very promising effort, bigbadwofl. Unfortunately, The lag got a bit too much in the end, but I enjoyed it nonetheless! :)

The chiptune rhythm and solid rectangles of varied dirt pleased my senses while I dug for gold and gems, built beds and summoned minions. If you continue to develop, when I had 7 imps and was beside the heroes and their relic, the game slowed down. On my laptop the HUD was just off the bottom of the screen.

Minions made me feel sad :(
Good job!

nice!

Really enjoyed this one!

Fun, but really easy. Really enjoyed the look and music.

Interesting, although a bit too simple and slow.

Pretty Interesting. Be sure to post code too :)

Very enjoyable, not all that challenging. If the Heroes were a little more offensive, it could have been even better.

Solid.

The music was a bit off-sounding to me, but the rest of the game played really well.

Love the pixel art and music!

Epic music during load! Really got me pumped to play the game. Despite my not being very good at these kinds of games (Darn you Spacebase DF-9!) I do like playing them.

It was good AI and the things they said were really funny! Great job :)

This is a great game! I love the music! Sadly I suffered from the lag problem after playing a while, but before it happened I was having a ton of fun!
