I loved playing this game. I didn't realize at first it was from the 1k jam, very polished. I kind of wished that button presses stop the dice from rolling, but every byte counts :)
Only got to floor 3 but this is a cool game. RPGs are so hard to make in pico8
This is such a cool & simple concept!
I'm not normally one for dungeon games, but this one was nice and easy to pick-up.
Great UX and animation/feedback - really well put together.
Was doing really well until I got to "unlucky" level 13, where a rather nasty Monster just won out.
Glad I got to play the "upgraded" version - I'd imagine the original was harder (nice to have choice!)
Nice entry 👍
Thank you very much for playing :) I also struggle with Duneon Crawlers etc., which is why I wanted to make a very simple one to try learning to enjoy it. It is really impressive how far you've gotten, I've never made it past Level 9 :D
This little dungeon crawler was fun. It’s so minimalistic, but it works great. I love the cube animation 😊 But I’m not sure why the movement is so limited. Is there a reason for this?
"I thought the name was funny" is probably a bad reason,right?
First of all: thanks for playing and the feedback!
The limitation is inspired by a card game ans saves a lot of code . And because this jam only allows for games under 1kb of code I made it a feature.
But feel free to change it however you like :)
No, no, it’s fine the way it is. I was just curious about the reason for this decision. And it’s totally understandable and brilliant to make it a feature. I think that’s what makes it edgy and memorable.
After a few tries, made it down to the 5th floor. I do wish it was a bit less totally random, and there was a floor counter, but was still fun. Plus, you have great cover art.
One way to free up some bytes would be by not storing the central dot in the lists of your lists of die pips, and just drawing that whenever there's an odd number:
function u(f,n,e) r(f,n,f+8,n+8,8) if (e%2==1) pset(f+4,n+4,7) local d={ [0]={}, {2,2,6,6}, {2,2,2,6,6,2,6,6}, {2,2,2,4,2,6,6,2,6,4,6,6} } for i=1,#d[e\2],2 do pset(f+d[e\2][i],n+d[e\2][i+1],7) end endTakes that drawing function down from 252 characters to 189. Could shave off a few more by making `d` a global.
Incredible feedback,thanks for your work and playing the game! I will incorporate your change and I'll try to tweak the game loop to allow for some strategizing. Thank you!
EDIT: Changed the game, thank you for your feedback and especially your help redesigning the dice function!
Played the update, wasn't expecting the two-tile reveal to make nearly as big of a difference as it does, but it really does change the feel of the game. Doesn't totally trivialize it either, since you do still want to avoid the left edge/bottom to take advantage of the choice. Nicely done!
