- No animations for adventurers (again, ran out of time)
- I probably could have made prettier laser/particles, too.
Blinky, The Simple Beholder has been stuck underground guarding his dungeon for too long, and now he just wants to go out and explore the outside world!
There's only one problem... in order for Blinky to get outside he has to sneak past a hoard of dangerous adventurers!
Blink is a strong beholder, so he can blast away the adventurers with his magic eyes! He can't really control his strength though, so every time he uses his magic eyes, they explode!
Can you help Blink get outside without blowing up all of his eyes?
Controls:
X to Start
Arrow Keys to Move
Instructions:
Venture through each level of the dungeon until you reach the outside world!
Hide in the shadows to avoid being seen by the adventurers.
If you get seen, Blink will blast away the adventurers, but lose one of his eyes in the process!
If Blinky loses all of his eyes the game is over... :(
Does this game even have an ending? I went through 15 levels and I just get messages like "don't give up" or "I can almost smell the air" or something. Solid game though.
Simple game, fun to play for a shortwhile but gets repetitive quickly because it doesn't seem to get gradually more difficult - the difficulty seems slightly random at times. Good job though!
Thanks for the feedback! The level design was done really quick, so I'm not surprised there's some inconsistencies with the difficulty. And yeah, there's definitely an ending :)

I like the initial concept and I think if developed further it could be fun! I'm rating highly because it is a jam and I understand the time restraints.
Loved the idea behind the game. Died at level 11 so not sure what kinds of gameplay innovations you have after that, but would have been nice to see a little more variation and even see Blinky do more against the guards.
Feels a bit slow, which I found unsatisfying. But it's an interesting concept! With some more polish to the gameplay and backstory it could probably turn into a really cool and unique game.
Solid game though.
