Mr. Dungeon Aase is a two button controlled game with something new in every level. From snowball shooting snow monsters to hard-to-navigate levels full of lava, traps and even shooting tiles, the game is filled with new content. Made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 34, the game fits with both themes: "Two button controls" and "Growing".
Go beat some dungeons and tame them!
Though I was busy for most of Saturday, I was able to complete 16 levels with new content in each, and a small storyline near the end of the game.
Tools used:
IDE: Eclipse
Graphics: Gimp
Sound: Sfxr
Programming: Java, LibGDX with Box2D and Box2DLights
I was having difficulty trying to figure out the controls. Also, the games main menu seems to be pretty glitchy (the background). I got bored after a few minutes.
Think lighting effects, though the cursor was a little difficult to see in the dark room. Felt like the movement was a little slow. But still, a game in 48hrs, nicely done.
Dooskington: The main menu was like that on purpose. Maybe it wasn't a good idea.
Reisen and Stephen Patrick: I forgot to include an exit button, oops. The fireball is meant to be short ranged so the game isn't too easy, you must get closer and therefore in more danger to kill enemies. As I'm using the mouse's location for movement control, I included that as a control button.

Maybe you aren't seeing the cursor? It's a little less visible that it should be in the menu. The cursor is a red circle.

What went wrong? The cursor is a red circle if you didn't see it.
The diagonal non-stop movement is very hard to work with, though I guess it would be too easy if you could stop. I think 360 degree motion would be an improvement however. Considering the time frame the graphics are very nice and there's a lot of content though!
I'm not sure how to start it....Is there's supposed to be a mouse cursor? It's capturing my mouse, but I don't see a cursor or anything, and mashing the keyboard got me nowhere...
this was quite a nice game but I found that the collision box of the player was a little large, which made it difficult to avoid traps :) otherwise I'm quite impressed with what you have done in the time that you had.
At first interesting, but quickly bored. Perhaps because of the strange method of movement. And it's not clear where the control of two buttons. Anyway, good luck ^_^
Nice graphics, but the controls are really weird. I'm already used to top down shooters with tight controls, so it's not fun for me to play a similar game with restrictive controls (like you can't stop, move straight, move in a direction I'm not facing, etc...)...
Did you read the text? You're meant to collect the key at the end of the level. The coins are there because I thought it would be nice, and the traps are there to add a purpose and difficulty to the end, otherwise the key would have no purpose.
Pretty interesting! I liked shooting zombies. Lots of levels! My mouse sometimes wouldn't shoot but moving it out and back in seemed to fix it - not sure if there was a design element I misunderstood or just a bug.
Controls are really weird, why did you choose diagonal movement? It feels really weird. Also, sometimes I fire when I click and sometimes I don't, I'm not really sure what's happening.
I think I've become deaf after falling in a trap and hearing that sfx.

And control is awkward, because the bottom side is a bit limited.
I only used left mouse button so far, haven't reached a part where I need to press a second button.
And that's a very short-ranged fireball.

The character is always on the bottom. Keep him centered.
Do I really need to pick all the coins?

Well Done!!
