Redemption *Made from scratch in Java *First time experimenting with a scrolling map and minimap
Arrow Keys - move Space bar - attack
Objective: Kill all the Enemies in the lv and reach the Blue City Note: You must reach the end of the game for the theme to make sense
-Not everyplace is unlocked you must complete the highlighted lvs to unlock new ones -Red cities are the towns you need to complete to unlock the blue city
*Make sure you have the latest version of java installed *Make sure that the jar file and the Rsc folder are in the same folder or textures wont show up*
Please let me know if you find a bug! I will fix it immediately! Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known Bugs Horizontal & Vertical Scrolling stops working - FIXED --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryusui beat me to it. The minimap became very valuable once the horizontal scrolling stopped working! I feel a little overpowered with a omni-directional spammable attack, but pfft I'm not complaining. Feels good, man.
I thought I was just playing the game pretty naturally, so I went back and I think I found it.
I reproduced the bug by finishing a level up against the edge of the map, where scrolling stops anyway. Scrolling will still be stuck in the next level I visit. Finishing on the far left or far right freezes it horizontally, and finishing on the very top or bottom freezes it vertically. The effects can stack too. :)
Interesting first attempt. I really think you should make yourself only be able to target one direction. I wasn't quite digging the graphics and there wasn't any sound.
Interesting idea! I liked the theme usage and the dynamics!
The game mechanics could be improved the be more challenging, I ended just button smashing through the end. I couldn't see the highlights in the map, so I got a bit lost (but I liked the idea!) I guess you didn't have much time, but it would be nice to have some humans sprites so the monster side would be more evident, I just didn't feel anything attacking big squares xp Finally, just a personal opinion, I found the ending a bit silly ^^;
I like where this idea is headed. As it stands, it is definitely more of a game jam game. That being said, I really dig the half old school vibe and simplicity. If anything, I'd say this would be great to turn into a pseudo Atari 2600 game with all the retro boops and beeps. Good job. :)
Overlooking the graphics, this could have been much more interesting if it required any kind of skill. Or you could have gone another router, and make it more gory, with bloodstains from enemies, different attacks which grow more powerful as you kill more enemies etc. As it is, the game really is too simple.
Why did you put this adfly redirector before the dropbox download? Having to skip though scummy ads is not really an invitation to play.
Anyway, unlike some others it works fine on Mac (with Java 8 runtime), game itself is bit more like RSI-demption, amirite. But it has a start and end, though the "twist" at the end is rather implied by the setup text in the beginning. But, good effort.
