'Skull means Death' is a roguelike / arcade game, with short levels procedurally generated, where you need to collect runes and destroy the enemy skulls to increase your score.
Instructions:
Attention! - Skulls with different shapes are harmfull and will destroy you!
If you see a "Dangerous" skull, do not get too close!
Collect Runes and change your skull in order to become immune and destroy the enemy with the same shape and color.
Blind-Mode:
On the blind-mode game, you can play bigger levels with less view distance.
Controls:
Use the [Arrow Keys] or [W],[A],[S],D] on your keyboard to move.
Great game, the mechanic was interesting and the music and graphics were very nice. The controls were somewhat annoying as I could not travel diagonally.
Fun little game this one. Simple concept pulled off well. I found some gems were inaccessible due to the procedural levels though and I'm one of those people that has to collect everything!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I first thought diagonal movement could make the game too easy, then I made the controls more like the room layout, prioritizing the horizontal movement. This is something that I could improve in a later version =)
@rodobodolfo Me too, I always try to collect everything! Due to the time that I had to work on the procedural generation, I overlooked the Runes spawn system. Hopefully I can make it better later on.
Pretty fun and interesting entry. My only gripe is that enemy spawns might need some working on (sometimes a "dangerous" skull would appear really close to you as soon as the level loads ending the game too quickly).
This is a start, although please export to other platforms especially since the engine supports both Mac and Linux! Maybe if the enemies moved a little further, then it would be a more challenging, because right now it's really easy. But for an engine you learned less than a month ago, this is great!
Thanks everybody for testing and commenting. I learned a lot on my first LD, and I plan to improve this game taking into account all the suggestions, really appreciate it. Just made a Linux version and updated the entry with the link, would be nice if someone could test and tell me if it's working.
