Slime, Blood and Pain

Ludum Dare 44: Jam Entry

Welcome to the Dungeon!

You are doomed to die in a randomly-generated dungeon, inhabitated by not really friendly creatures: cute slimes, some skeletons, creepy multi-eye monsters...

Luckily, you won't need to rely only on your fists: inside the dungeon you'll be able to find hearts that can heal you (and some that will poison you), and you can also improve your equipment... at a cost. A cost in blood...

Controls

Meet the cast

You! An adventurer stuck in the Dungeon, willing to sacrifice part of his life to slay more monsters.

Bart, the Shopkeeper. He sells two swords... for your blood!

A slime. Be careful! It can bite with its sharp teeth.

Spooky scary skeletons roam the Dungeon. They wield iron swords: don't get sliced! They can also jump back a square after attacking.

Some skeletons decided to wield a bow instead of a sword, and will shoot you from far away.

The terrifying Watcher. He's a mighty foe. He can dash after attacking.

Items

An heart. Heals 1 HP.

A poisoned heart! Damages for 1 HP.

This sword deals 3 damage, and can be bought... For 4 of your Max HP!

This sword deals 5 damage, but if you buy it... You will lose 10 Max HP!

Misc

A vase. You can break it, I guess?

Arcane candles. A spell protects them from destruction.

A demon you aren't ever going to see. Our artist thought it looked cool, though.

A final note

We salvaged this in the last Game Jam day from an unplayable mess. It's an awful disaster of code, sprites, and even some audio?

Thanks to
