* Made for Ludum Dare 36 for the theme "Ancient Technology." Developed in 48 hours so please forgive me if there are bugs​. If you do encounter any, please leave me a comment or contact me via Twitter so I can fix them asap.

* This game has no save feature.

* Screenshots are saved to your C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\CrossbowAssassin in Windows and your current working directory on Mac OS X.

* Sorry, Linux lovers, I don't have a Linux machine so I am unable to compile a Linux build.

* If the Mac build doesn't run, refer to this page (http://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/216753558-My-app-won-t-open-when-downloaded-from-the-internet) to get it running.

About

-----------------------------------------

Inspired by some recent hazy events in my country (brownie points if you manage to get the references) and Warren Robinett's classic Adventure, I decided to make a similar maze action-adventure game for my first Ludum Dare. I had a blast!

Crossbow Assassin was made in GameMaker: Studio, Bxfr, Bosca Ceoil, coffee, pen and paper and music that’s 130bpm or faster.
