Just a Dungeon is a 2D Dungeon Crawler game.
It was made using my own VulcEngine.

How to win

To win you have to clear all the dungeon rooms, you will find a Yellow Tile of Win in the last one.

With your HPs you can buy armor and weapons.
Kill monsters to gain more HPs.

How to play

Download the jar file to play (You must have Java installed and updated)

Instructions in Game.

ESC to skip dialogs (don't do it in first run, it is a tutorial).

Post Ludum Dare

Modified monster's attack damage (literally changed a line in source code)

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I play ? I relly do not find any executables, maybe because I do not have the program, or something ?

@wigner-matos @firedragis Launch the jar file that you download, I presume you have Java installed.
I am going to publish an exe file too.

Cool game, it's actually impressive that you have your own game engine. I like the gameplay and use of theme, but for my taste enemies were too hard to kill (had too much hp).

I liked the pixel art retro look, it was like playing those games from my childhood xD. It was nice to play it.

@sunnray @arielsan Thank you! Yeah, enemies are a bit too much strong.
PS: the engine was a must: I worked a lot on Tile-based games and I had to write the same code each time (Entity, Tile, Level, Input...)

enemies deal a LOT of damage. you don't gain anything if they take a few hits out of you early game before you kill them.

Aside from that, I love the game. interesting mechanic design, good tiles, and vampire shopkeeper.

@acactus thank you for the feedback. I think I will add a 'post-jam' version where monsters are more balanced. However a good strategy is to move back after attacking the monster, I use this and can complete the game without dying.

the enemies do to much damage at start and u cannot "dodge" so its quite hard to even beat the second level.
maybe i just suck.
would have been nice if you had a way to attack and go back so you can "dodge" or have enemy attack indecetor or something.

i mean the best would have been if you had a way to target the attack direction other then by moving.
but not bad!
