The idea behind this was to take an RPG, strip it down to the bare bones mechanics and squash the entire game-world onto one screen. The resulting game would appear to be an RPG for ants. Enjoy (hopefully)!
It's a Java game programmed on windows, so it should work on any windows pc with java installed. It may work on other OS's, but no guarantees (if it does, please let me know!).
Used BFXR to create sound effects; graphics are hardcoded.
Controls: Movement: WASD/Arrow Keys Aim: mouse curser Default attack: Left mouse button (can be held) Special attacks: 1, 2, 3 Restart: ESC/Enter
Controls & instructions are in the 2nd picture (also in the zip).
I can of don't understand why it's a RPG and not an action game, but well. The screen is really small on my macbook pro retina on windows, but I it's not your fault I guess ! Still, some nice ideas, it lacks a bit of graphics but the gameplay is nice nontheless.
Good game, good concept. The game could use a little path finding in it, though. Often the enemies would get stuck on a wall and allow me to endlessly shoot them. I think you should work on this for a post compo version!
That was actully pretty cool! When I first loaded it, to be honest I didn't think it would have much (any) content. Then I saw that there were multiple extra attacks and enimies and changed my mind! Really cool game. If you had more time, maybe work on the graphcs, otherwise really good!
Looks fun, but this is the only game so far where my anti-virus software gives me warnings about the download ... so I dare not play it, sorry (Of course I don't rate it either).
I found the gameplay really enjoyable, even surprisingly so! The little particle effects were satisfying and reminded me of many old classics like Spheres of Chaos. Those red enemies are really mean! With more varied level designs and some side goals this could become a really wonderful thing :)
Great! It's like a more action-focused ZZT! :D AI is kinda dumb, but super-mean. Please make it into a bigger and deeper game. :D Don't want to sound like I'm advertising myself, but you may want to check my one-screen rpg. Cheers!
I wish I could resize the window, it hurts my eyes after a while! But its a neat little game. I like the special abilities, and how it is randomly generated (I think).
Fun little design, and I have a few thoughts. I would have preferred to see a line-of-sight system rather than area of detection, which results in shots coming from rooms that you can't reach. The controls were easy to manage, but that dying sound... it hurt my ears. lol
Still, some nice ideas, it lacks a bit of graphics but the gameplay is nice nontheless.
