In Mole Empire you are playing a mole, who can fight other creatures (most of the time other moles ^^) and can become stronger by finding power ups and loot.

There is also an ingame editor!

And you can add new items and enemies via ".ini"-files.

I worked alone on this game, my sleeping time was around 6h or so :D.

The only borrowed things in the game is the Font (alagard.ttf) and a little LUA library to convert tables into strings (TSerial.lua).

Technical features: I implemented a tile-shader engine, which can show up to 4096x4096 tiles in realtime (zoom don't effect performance). I also combined this shader with an 2d light raytracer to cast pixel shadows.

I don't have a compiled Version for Mac/Linux yet, but you can run the ".love"-files in these systems with the love2d interpreter: https://love2d.org/

Have fun!
