[WIP] #lowrezjam Roguelike

[MrFlibble78]

 

I've uploaded my current WIP #lowrezjam roguelike.  The game is almost fully playable.  You can find the exit and move deeper down the mazes and you can also die, but most item functionality is missing.

 

Here is the maze generation algorithm in action.  It uses Prim's Algorithm and creates always solvable mazes.

 

 

Here is the games combat where I take on a rather badly drawn pixel skeleton.  Then beat another badly drawn sprite but this time a snake.

 

 

Lastly here is the inventory in action.

 

 

You can try out the game at it's GameJolt page HERE.

 

Any feedback would be great, especially if you came up with a name.

 

Thanks.

Hi MrFlibble, it's really nice. I didn't feel like it needs double speed (you mentioned on gamejolt). Some loadig bar or percentage during the generation phase would be nice (it took maybe 3 minutes on mobile).

Thanks for taking the time to play

 

I don't think it needs 2 space movement myself but thought it would have suggested.

 

Will try and fit a loading bar on the generation screen.  It was the same when I tested it on my tablet.  The generation code is not very suited to mobile processors I don't think and it's unlikely I could speed it up, I just don't have the skills.

 

For anyone not wanting to play via GameJolt you can try it - HERE - it can be played via a mobile browser just give the generation screen time

 

Thanks for playing

You could call it high-rez-dungeon

 

(Whaaat? .. yeah, compaired to my dungeon crawler for the low-rez-jam it is indeed high-detailed .. my main character is 2px - link in signature)

 

I like your random maze generation.. mine ist using a premade map (made with tiled) .. but I have a half completed generator.

 

Maybe I'll build an endless version.. (but maybe not, because it's so much work.. for a low rez game that nobody will every player more then 5 minutes ^^)

I had a maze generator already complete but it was slower and gave weird results.  I rewrote it again for a friend during the jam and couldn't resist using it.

 

Go for a endless version of your game.  Even if it's just as a side project to work on every now and then.  I really enjoyed it.
