Update - PICO-8 Cartridge Available
Working today but I have a decently playable versus game (needs 2 players). It needs polish, tutorial, and a single player mode to test abilities.
Currently the moves are (success and failure will be indicated on screen as green and red borders, respectively):
- Mobility:
- Move, move 1 space. Will make noise if you run into an object or wall/column . Succeeds when move is made unobstructed. *Makes you stand up if prone*
- Dash, same as move except 2 spaces. Will make a quiet sound no matter what. Succeeds when move is made unobstructed. *Makes you stand up if prone*
- Prone, makes you prone so throws go over you (flash bombs, knives). Succeeds if you were not prone.
- Move Obj, pushes an object, you stay in the same spot. Succeeds when there is a pushable object and it was pushed (nothing in the way). *Makes you stand up if prone*
- Offense
- Throw Knife, throws a knife in a straight line in direction. If it hits a wall or object it makes a noise. Succeeds if hits something fleshy.
- Slash, 3 spots immediate in front of you in direction. Makes noise if it hits an object or wall. Succeeds if hits something fleshy.
- Lay Trap, lays one trap next to you in direction. Succeeds if the trap was laid successfully (spot was unoccupied). *You can only have 1 active trap, remember where it is*
- Flash Bomb, throws a flash bomb like a knife. Will reveal whatever it hits and the area around for a short time. Always succeeds.
- Defense
- Sense Area, checks if there is someone in a direction. This is a full rectangle scan in the direction you choose. So someone more up than left will still be sensed when choosing left.
- Sense Trap, scans in the same way as Slash attacks. Success if there is a trap in one of the three squares.
- Lay Decoy, lays a dummy that can throw off sensors. Success if placed and square is not occupied (similar to trap). *You can only have 1 active decoy, remember where it is*
- Utility
- Light Match, reveals your location for a short time
Enjoy and lemme know what you think!
