Dedicated User Defined Entity (D.U.D.E.)

About the game

This game is a combination of Platformer and Card Game.

You play as the Dedicated User Defined Entity (D.U.D.E.) Bot a mighty android capable of all imaginable features. But unfortunaly he can only walk left and right without further support.

Use memory cards in order to temporary enhance the features of the D.U.D.E. After a short time, the features will reset, forcing you to equip new cards.

The goal is to get the highest score possible. Gain points by clearing the levels. But keep in mind: Equipping cards will reduce your score drastically! The more cards you use simultaniously, the more points it will cost. E.g. 2 Cards cost 100, and 3 Cards already 1000 Points!

If you don't have any fitting cards, discard them by the cost of 1000 points. Or try to solve parts without any cards only by walking.

Controls

The controls are displayed on screen. Only keyboard is supported, but if you want to use *JoyToKey* or something similar these are the controls in general:

Key	Action
Arrow	Movement, Navigation
X	Jump, Confirm
C	Dash
Return/ Enter	Start
R	Reset

It can also be mapped on a NES-Gamepad for *Retro-Feeling*.

It runs on Java

In order to play the game, you must have Java installed on your computer. JRE 1.6 or higher is required.

Development Notes

This is my second Ludum Dare game. Suprisingly it went exactly like the first one. For the good parts, as well as the bad parts.

Last time I could not add any sound or music. Now the exact same: No audio at all. I'm very sorry about that. I try to practice this... hopefully...
Graphics took forever but I hope you apreciate them.

I did everything on my own, except the level designs. My brother gave me a helping hand there. As well as *soul support*.

Thank you for reading
