BAG MAN

(created for Ludum Dare 42. Theme: Running Out of Space) Follow me on Twitter

You are a greedy adventurer and an evil wizard has put a curse on you. You want gold, you shall have gold! The wizard will put gold in your backpack but due to the curse, if your backpack fills up you will die. You must find 16 bags to increase the size of your pack and show the Wizard you skill, then he will life the curse.

Avoid enemy/hazard contact as that also adds gold to your backpack. If you get hit too much you cannot finish.

You're best advised to pick a direction and go vs changing directions a lot. The game is very simple but challenging due to the ticking clock. As you get better at jumping the game gets easier. Make mental notes of where bags are if they are out of your reach, so you can run back for them.

MOVE: Left/Right Arrows
JUMP: Space/Up Arrow

The game consists of 32 rooms that are randomly generated and populated similarly to the 2600 Pitfall game. The rooms have a random number from 1-32 associated with them and I check the bits of the byte of the room value to determine what and where to spawn things. The level is a circle with the end rooms wrapping around.
