About
Build issues have been fixed in v1.1.3, available now on itch https://wilsk.itch.io/the-obelisk. Let me know if you come across any other issues
Three explorers travel through the jungle and find a mysterious stone obelisk. Suddenly the jungle comes alive, and creature pour out to attack the explorers. They are quickly overcome, but the obelisk is not done with them. It strengthens them and stands them once more in front of the horde.
How to play
You control three characters fighting a horde of jungle creatures. Use the arrow buttons on the right to move the characters between one of three lanes. Characters will auto attack. Purchase upgraded abilities and use them with Q, W, E, R, D and F. Try to outlast all the waves, or give up - I have no idea if its beatable :spy:
Notes
This game was made with Bevy (a new Rust game engine). I used Aseprite for the artwork and recorded the sounds in audacity. Its a windows only download, but in theory could be built for Linux/MacOS. There are some bugs but its more or less what I had in mind.
There are a few known issues I ran out of time to fix, but the game should be playable (if possibly unbalanced):
- the source code is a bit of a mess!
- ability cooldowns have gone AWOL
- clicking "give up" sometimes crashes to desktop instead of going to the menu (eventually Bevy won't CTD for this particular issue).
- player level ups don't seem to apply (not sure if a UI issue or if they're actually not applied)
