You are trapped in a dungeon which full of monsters. Can you survive for 10 seconds?

The game was initially designed with leveling system and inventory system which is like a proper roguelike. However since I was busy moving to the new place I rent during the weekend therefore I don't have too much time to finish it. Instead I turned it into a short and intense survival game. Hope you enjoy :)

Control:
Up, Down, Left, Right.

Thought the game was broken until I learned that you need to press space to start...

Gameplay is very simple! I managed to win after a few tries, but after that the game just kind of restarts. Could have had several levels, just to give the player a feeling he's getting somewhere, and to make us a bit more competitive to post our scores on here. ;)

I like the gameplay. You basically have to scramble as soon as possible to get a sword and shield or you are doomed. I like that. Takes some figuring out and some quick thinking. But still, this could have been much more, I think!

@DaVince

Thank you for liking the game :D This is my first finished game since i learned java game programming and the weekend was pretty busy for me but I still managed to put in a lot of hours into making this. I totally agreed with you I could have done more and have more levels. I will continue working on the game after the Jam :)

Good idea, would be nice if you could change which goblin you are attacking, the game seems to just assign one that approaches you, but sometimes you want to kill the one that is blocking your path to a pretty open area. Would have made the game more strategical.

really cool game, that makes you feel how long ten seconds can be. Would like to see a post compo version with more levels and stuff <3

Nifty! At first I thought it was almost impossible to win, but I finally did! Kinda addictive, and very well made!

Haha good old clusterf*.
Some abilities other than movement would have been fun, like aoe magic attacks and such.
Really cool!

I couldn't win in many attempts. But I can see that is a good simple idea. Just needs polish.

What a hard little game, ut took me a while to figure out how to kill those damn goblins! haha Well, maybe a separate button to attack would've been better.
