Dadiator is a gladiator fighting game where you earn more money the more fighters you defeat! After each battle you can spend your money on new weapons to make yourself an even stronger killing machine! However you must look after your family, who rely on you to pay for food, heating fuel and medicine. It's game over if you die in battle or your family dies due to hunger/coldness/illness.
- Important: The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 is required to run on Windows. It is available here under the Redistributable and Build Tools section.
- Linux: Just run ./Ludum from terminal while in the binaries folder
- Important: CSFML 2.5 is required to be installed for the Linux version to work. Check your package manager.
- W/A/S/D: Move your gladiator
- Shift: Brings up your shield (If you have one)
- Left click / Right click: Attack and Special Attack
This symbol shows how well fed your family are, the more it goes grey the hungrier they get.
This symbol shows the how well heated your family are, if the fire gets low it'll begin to show freezing ice, which really isn't good for their health.
Finally this symbol shows if your family are ill and need medicine, family members are more likely to fall ill if they're cold or hungry.
- Fists (*default*): Just punch them, either hand. They'll die
eventually.
- Sword: Good for stabbing and slashing, does way more
damage than just punching your opponents.
- Spear: Its like a sword on a stick, very good for distant stabbing, even better when you throw it (Right Mouse Button)
- Shield: The shield isn't really a weapon, but you will want to know about it. Holding the shift key will bring up your shield (if your character has bought one) you won't negate all damage, but you'll live longer if you utilise it well.
