Random Rogue
Game made for the Global Game Jam 2021 with the theme "lost and found".
Having been thrown into a world by a pissed off sorceror, you find yourself lost in an alien land. Find your way through 3 levels, dodging baddies and snakes, finding loot and finally the portal that will lead you out of this predicament.
The game procedurally generates levels using cellular automata, flood fill and drunken walk algorithms.
Controls:
WASD to move around. That's it really!
WIP:
Sounds, visual effects, and lots more features!
Credits:
Writing, design and programming: KnightOrc. This was a solo jam project but I did use assets from these fine people:

I love the starting screen text and the game looks really nice. I also like the slow enemies cause I don't like losing :D . But you could make them more interesting. Some ideas: Shooting enemies? Enemies throwing fireballs and setting the wood on fire? Or something completely beyond imagination?
For me, roguelikeness would definitely imply that the game were turn based, so I was somewhat disappointed here, but I know that there are other definitions...
Thanks for the kind words! I agree there are plenty of things to improve in the game and I like the idea of enemies setting the woods on fire! Turn based rogue is certainly doable but I was going for an arcadey rogue mix, where movement is real time but combat is turn based. I haven't implemented combat mechanics or even the movement properly (the enemies move randomly) as this game was basically done in less than 24 hours for a game jam. But yep, it's on the TO DO list.
No tension of chasing enemies, all cool and peaceful, Though once got stuck on a tree when about to reach the exit :D (but somehow got released later). Nice work
Ha ha. Clearly some work to be done. Glad you "found" freedom though! ;)
cool .. .BTW loved the starting screen..
Thanks!
