Into the Pyramid

by galanm
In 1798, Napoleon invaded Egypt. After successfully annexing the country, he set about looting its treasures. Soon he would find treasure beyond his reckoning, as he ventured Into the Pyramid.

Into the Pyramid is a simple turn-based strategy game, or the shell thereof. There is only one simple stage, and no win state. I hope you enjoy it anyways!

Controls
--------
Move: WASD/↑←↓→ (all units)
Melee: WASD/↑←↓→ when adjacent to enemy (Napoleon and Officer)
Shoot: HOLD [Shift], then aim using WASD/↑←↓→, RELEASE [Shift] after aim completes to fire. Releasing early cancels the attack.

Post Compo bug fixes:
• removed 2 enemies; Game is now 'beatable'
• fixed multiple units getting their turn after shooting
• fixed units taking damage after a melee attack, instead of enemies
• fixed units having only one move after the first player phase

Huh, what distro are you using? It runs fine for me on Ubuntu 16.04.

Not really my type of game. Still interesting though, and nice funny looking pixel art :)

Was a little confusing at first.
The graphics were pretty nice, and so was the sound but it needed music.

One bug i noticed is that if a unit was about to get their turn to move, and they die to the lasers, the game is stuck in a frozen state.

Otherwise the graphics were decent, and it could be used to make a HUGE full fledged game in the future. Good luck next time!

The graphical style is radical, the controls sluggish and the overall difficulty fiendish... Needs a few more patches I reckon.
