This game throws you into a fight you can not win. You can however try to survive as long as possible.

To gain loot, kill enemies. You can equip loot to gain bonuses.

To attack enemies click on them (You can only attack the first enemy). After you attack the enemy, you will get hit by the first enemy in line. If you kill an enemy it has no chance to retaliate and you can immediatly attack the next enemy.
Some enemies have resistances or weaknesses to certain attack types. You can change your attack type with the small menu above your inventory.

You can sell any item at any time to get XP. This can be useful to gain a level at any moment, which will fill up your health to max, which is also the only way to regenerate HP.

Please share your feedback and have fun playing.

Great game, love the concept! But the mean gelatinous cubes always get me :D

Just what is the difference is between the 3 attacks? They seem to do the same damage and not cause any other effects.

Some Monsters have random weakness and resistance to certain attack types. you have to try them out.

Good game. Every so often there would be an enemy that I wasn't able to hurt unless I got crits which is okay but seemed slightly odd that it come up regularly. Guess the RNG didn't like me much.

An interesting concept, but the execution is a bit lacking. The art looks cool and the inventory is very impressive. It is however not really clear what type of attack is effective against the fully shielded goblin(?). Since we both seem to do just 0 damage. Is this a bug? Nice Idea for the theme and a cool take on the RPG genre.

Great game, very simple and nicely laid out. For some reason none of the icons responded till I died, then it worked a treat, bash the cubes! :D

Looks like i`m missing something. Frame instantly closes with an error message:

I like the concept. It's definitely worth trying. But it hasn't been fully realized here. The game need more tuning and balance because right now it relies a lot on luck.

zakchaos8 Dec 2014, 21:37

Couldn't run it. It gave me the name prompt, then when submitted game crashed

Hellequin8 Dec 2014, 21:48

Great game! I like the concept!

Rene Damm8 Dec 2014, 23:20

Asked my name and then was never seen again :( Sad because it looks very interesting.

sensenmann666author9 Dec 2014, 09:08

Yes, that is because it requires Java 8 (JRE 8) to run.

Rene Damm10 Dec 2014, 21:22

Which is installed on the computer, however.

sensenmann666author11 Dec 2014, 21:52

Im sorry, just made the game Java 7 compatible. Hope it works now :)

DaRaziel12 Dec 2014, 07:25

Thanks for the compatibility fix for Java 7. Great game, i enjoyed it alot! Item end enemy generation work pretty good!

Nice concept, a little repetitive eventually, and the music becomes a bit droning (not sure if that's correct use but whatever XD)

grid9612 Dec 2014, 18:05

I love that game :D Had so much fun playing it, when i got the purple sword from my first enemies. You did a good job on giving the player good enough loot to keep playing, couldn't stop... till it crashed cause i had a full inventory :/ so a quick sell would be nice, to sell all the items of one color. But in total it was great, got everything to purple, i wonder if there is even more...

ynots12 Dec 2014, 20:43

interesting...

Wilou142812 Dec 2014, 21:18

Nice rogue-like :D. It would be even cooler if the equipment would show on player.

tompudding14 Dec 2014, 12:21

Cool idea, though quite repetitive at the minute, would love to see my guy wearing the armour. Nice music too

EthanWebster14 Dec 2014, 12:30

Fun little game, well done.

billrizer14 Dec 2014, 12:37

Crazy addictive game - love it!

Would have loved weaknesses + resistances with maybe a little skill based (timed strikes) thrown in

LuthienCeleste14 Dec 2014, 13:45

Despite its simplicity it sucks in you int "just another kill". Kind like the "just another turn" in Civilization games.
I got killed at level 8 by an exception :

I was clicking rather fast on enemies and I think it might have happened due to the already dead enemy receiving a click or a similar issue.

sensenmann666author18 Dec 2014, 18:28

Yeah its a known bug, the game crashes when you get an item but theres no free inventory slot
