Find the 4 scepters to banish the necromancer who rules those lands. Play the Fighter Wizard Thief and Assassin in the order you like.
CONTROL : Game is played with the arrow keys
I could not finish help in time So here's an important point :
To use his habilitie the Thief needs to be in stealth mode, you can achieve this by hiding near an empty wall in a room without monsters. Once in stealth mode you will unlock the first door or steal the first treasure on your way.
First I definitely hate blue blobs and poisonous snakes.
Ok so I really enjoyed the way you move ( pv ;) ), the different abilities of the 4 characters. And I really enjoyed finding the scepter and then dying. The game is very easy to play, it seems simple, it is but very rich nonetheless. And it very innovative. Bravo!
Pff, I wouldn't have expected less from the creator of Super Strict Farmer and Beetlefield: The Forecast. Brilliant game, capable of keeping me hooked for a very long time!
Also, I somehow managed to get stuck in the top-right room of the third, level. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, though.
Although it feels like you have to learn the dungeons through trial and error in order to know which order to pick the characters, the simplicity of the game and the depth that emerges from it is really delightful. It looks fantastic too!
This is super good! It really fits the minimal rogue-like theme, but unlike other "minified" games it's just just crapified -- the graphics are perfect and the game actually has impressive puzzle play and a great mood. One of my favorites so far.
I thought this was excellent. Great implementation of the theme with the battle system. Thoroughly challenging, without being frustrating (at least for me). Very nicely done, and keep up the excellent work!
Whoah, this is hard! It took me a while before I tried custom, which makes practice a lot easier.
Insane props to anyone who managed to do solve this without paper to draw a map of each level. In the end I could do it without using the wizard or the assassin, I guess it's not possible with one character only.
Kind of a sad ending, and I had to take a few shots for the spelling mistakes :P Very good game though!
Simple and really fun! This game rocks! I enjoy the size of the game, and even with the limited graphics it has a load of options and paths. Great one!
Old-school gameplay, old-school art, and old-school... difficulty!! If that's what casual is like, I'm never going to survive puzzle :) Even though there are only 4 buttons, there are tons of options! (Sadly, most of those options will result in horrible death.)
Plays like dungeonquest, what with all the death... the mapping and room selections is clever. One of my favourite games of all time was wizardry 1-3 on Apple ][, this reminds me of that (not visually but the room by room aspect). Good job!
So much with so few, a really clever usage of theme in a complex, deep game given time it was made. A really top 10 of LD26 in my counting. Amazing job!
Really fun and simple to control game with high depth. Probably the LD26 game I spent the most time on. The only annoying thing was that the wizard sometimes did not feel like using his spells for some reason. Also: This is the first RPG/dungeon game I have seen that would work well on smartphones. Polish it, add a new dungeon every week and it could be a hit on the app stores.
Innovative minimal party dungeon crawl! Choosing which monster to attack interested me, and the tropes of dungeon crawling games made feel content. If you continue to develop this, I was overwhelmed by options while seeking the second scepter. I didn't understand the strategy of which monster I should fight first.
First of all, thank you for commenting on my game! <3 I responded to your comment on my page.
This game is really cool and hard. Even the casual version is rather unforgiving. It's some sort of puzzler and I love it, but I didn't get past the third level.
You did a fantastic job with the graphics, animation and audio. Also, HaXe... I had never heard of that language. Awesome, I just learnt about a new language!
Great work. Very difficult, very replayable. I like the character classes and their cooperation a lot, though I wish the thief's ability was more than one-use.
It feels like there's very little left to chance, which makes it more of a puzzle game. I did find myself in one situation where a portcullis shut behind me and I was stuck in just two rooms with no items or monsters or a way out (may have needed a key).
Challenging, but in the best of ways. You've clearly got a hit on your hands!
Great production all-around, too.
One question: Are the dungeons always guaranteed to be solvable? I'd love to hear about your approach; mostly because the layout is so simple, it would act as a great starting-point for getting into "procedural" dungeons/puzzles (although I'd guess you had more deliberate control of the dungeon design).
@namuol No I can't guarantee it and I'm very sad about it, I wrote a post mortem of the reasons you can read it in my journal. However, some players certified the game to be finishable in easy mode. I'll definitively work on a better leveldesigned post-compo but not in the next months. For the procedural question, I dont think procedural can generate good puzzles on those game types. Computer can still assist you if you create a solver. While you leveldesign the solver tell you in real time how many solutions can finish the level. Your goal is a number nearest to 1. I had no time to make the solver in the 48h but I did it for my previous entry : Extinct ( there's also a postmortem on solver-assisted leveldesign you can read )
This is definitively a very vey very very good entry. One of my favorite compo. The gameplay is very ingenious. Good graphics, good mood, good fun, good theme. Congrats.
hands down! I love the style, and simplicity of this RPG! this I could definitely see as an mobile port. I only wonder if you could do another build of this with more classes! (as many as imaginable!)minimally slick-wicked work and congrats!
