- Engage in risk vs. reward gameplay
How to play
In this game the objective is to progress as far as possible to achieve a high score. You play as a blue Orc, and you interact with the environment using the arrow keys (or ijkl).
Attacking enemies is as simple as running into them. There is a chance you will miss, and during this calculation the enemy also has a chance to hit. After receiving damage, visible by the blood on the player sprite, use a health pickup to regain 1 hp. They can be found in chests or dropped by enemies.
Certain enemies drop their weapons when killed. Pick them up to increase your attack power.
There is a chance that a locked chest will appear. The key is dropped by a guard or knight enemy. Inside is an armo(u)r pickup that negates all damage for the current and next level.
Controls:
- Arrow Keys, IJKL to move
- "O" key to open chests
- "P" key or SPACE to pickup items
- "W" key to wait a turn without doing anything
- "S" key to shoot an arrow
- "B" key to place a bomb, "D" key to detonate it
- SPACE to descend stairs to complete the level
- Hold ESCAPE for 1 second to end your run
(I apologize for the bad quality screenshots, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, just know that it looks clearer in-game)
