Is a good game, but I already saw this tipe of game to many times, but I like that someone is chasing you, it makes the game more interresing, and I also like the light system. The pixel art is not that good but i kid of like it, idk.
Pico-8 is a simulated 8 bit microcomputer. It's kind of a programmers' learning tool, with a focus on game development. You can make chiptunes with it too. I think you can play most of the cartridges in your browser if you don't own Pico-8.
A number if games don't work when downloaded from the itch Desktop application unless you also have a prerequisite application, driver, etcetera — and a number of titles don't download at all through the itch Desktop application at all due to filename limitations on windows and other errors.
But thank you for the suggestion, the attempted help is appreciated.
one question : 'Enter the tower of Wurstlord. Can you make it to the top and steal his legendary Kielbasa?' 'kielbasa' is the polish word for 'sasuage'... are you from poland? but yeah, the game is a simple yet fun little roguelike. :)
The aesthetic is really neat, and I'm always down for a bit of spicy randomness. However, there are times where this feels really stacked against the player. I'm sure part of this is my own need to improve how I use weapons, but there are a couple of areas where I wonder if the game has tilted a little too far:
1) There's no real way, that I can tell, to deal with enemies in diagonal squares. This isn't a problem when you have an enemy chasing you, but in a room with multiple enemies, it's super annoying.
2) Map defogging seems really unfair.. Sometimes whole rooms reveal quickly, but if that room's got bitey plants in it, you can bet that you'll have to move through square by square and take damage that sometimes feels flat-out unavoidable (see image)
3) Blindness is very punishing. I wonder if it shouldn't be restricted to when you get hit by a scorpion, rather than having a random(?) chance of infliction when you hit and kill a scorpion.
1) That is true! Rooms with a lot of enemies are dangerous.
2) Yes, it's far from ideal.
Explanation: There is one grass tile type that is covering line of sight (to your right in the image, that looks like a corn plant). It is true that it's a bit of a gamble. In this case you can safely move up because plants will never spawn in the a doorway. Also, by definition plants can't spawn adjacent to each other. It doesn't solve all situations but it helps sometimes.
I hear you. I might redo that tile to indicate the blockage better. This system is on the list to iterate on in a sequel.
3) If it's any help, killing a scorpion with any ability will avoid blindness. You have to evaluate if it's worth it.
So far I'm loving it!! Highly recommend Found a bug though: if you kill a key monster while they are standing on an item tile, they won't drop the key!
Yes! I get to play it after exactly a year of watching you play it. Very different compared to other games, I like how nothing except the floor plan is random.

You can use the free Pico-8 Education Edition, link here: https://www.pico-8-edu.com/
:D
Bug!
-There was only one slime in the level with no buzz saws, pots, or chests. And there was nothing in plant rooms.
I wonder how far people have gotten in this game...
Can we get a downloadable version?
If you own Pico-8 you can find cart for this game here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=37045
I don't even know what Pico-8 is, I'll look it up on Google later.

Ah, thank you.
Definitely recommend looking it up, there are a lot of gems.
You can download the game using the itch.io App.
I'm pretty sure I tried that but it didn't work.

looks fine keep it going
loved it, exactly what i was looking for
Since there are odd tiles and even tiles, I think it's better to paint checkerboard pattern on the tiles.
I can't find the download link for the game
There is none. But you can play the game offline if you use the Itch.io App.
LOVE
solid game 7/10
This is quite a room I have found myself in.
Dang! What floor was that if you remember?
unless you have several jumps/suplexes, a few bolts, and like, twenty spins, you're done for.
this game is great :)
This game is really hard!
one question : 'Enter the tower of Wurstlord. Can you make it to the top and steal his legendary Kielbasa?' 'kielbasa' is the polish word for 'sasuage'... are you from poland? but yeah, the game is a simple yet fun little roguelike. :)
Yes, I was born in Warsaw
Lovely game. Well done
The game is awesome, pretty simple and really addicting, good luck!
Super addicting! Awesome game. My only qualms are that Suplex really bites and damn those scorpions(?) that blind you.
Yeah suplex is less flexible. But you can suplex monsters into saws for massive damage and loot drop.
Scorpions won't cause blindness if you defeat them using abilities.
Both good things to know, thank you!
Awesome game! Keep working on it!! :)

Wow this game ruuuules
Rogue-likes are fun. This game is no exception. Also, it's for the Pico-8. I love that fictional system.
Very ecxited to see how this turns out, looks great
So far I'm loving it!! Highly recommend
Found a bug though: if you kill a key monster while they are standing on an item tile, they won't drop the key!
Thank you for the feedback! I was able to track down the bug. It should be resolved now in Version 3.
How do i download it?
There is no downloadable version yet. You can play it offline using the itch.io app.
https://itch.io/app
You could also get Pico-8. It is available there as well.
https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
It cannot be downloaded, it only works online.
You absolutely can download it and play offline using the Itch.io App. I've just done it myself to make sure.
thanks for telling, i thought we could'nt download
Duuuude! I love Pico-8 and Shiren the Wanderer, so you've got me.
Good fun but wish it recorded the stats of my best runs.
Uouuu this is super coll
Pretty interesting, but way too hard for my liking. Though, it is nice that the levels are random.
Yes! I get to play it after exactly a year of watching you play it. Very different compared to other games, I like how nothing except the floor plan is random.
This game reminds me of the Game Boy Pocket games. Very good.
watched all the tutorials, very good work !
BRAVO!
this is rad.
Awesome work, I put you up on the itch.io homepage. Congrats on the launch.
Oh man. This is fantastic! Thank you.
