Randall angered the gods by stealing their milk. To redeem himself, he must survive a trial by ordeal --- a battle against an army of inanimate objects. This is going to take all the milk you can get.

Navigate around falling rocks


Use the arrow keys to move. Be careful not to get trapped!

Charge your attack by consuming milk


Each carton adds one range to your headbutt attack. Use space to charge forward!

Break rocks for coins


The more rocks you break with a single attack, the greater the reward.

Don't run out of space


If you can no longer collect any milk, it's game over! Press R to return to the title screen.

Controls


- Move: Arrow keys

- Headbutt: Space bar

- Restart: R

About


This game was made with python, pygame, and a few pygame-compatible tools of my own called pyracy. All of the art was made in Paint.NET, and the music was written in Musescore. The soundtrack is on my Soundcloud.

I generally have relatively "off" game ideas, and end up with really glitchy interfaces and controls, so this event I decided to prioritize polish, usability, and audiovisual feedback. The game idea sort of evolved as I went, but I think it turned into a pretty solid Compo experience. I hope you enjoy playing Rampart!
