No worries, I appreciate the effort!
This run good on Wine. Keep making games!
Mhhh still problems:
~$ ./thefireofardor-1.2.0-x86_64.AppImage

A fun-to-play roguelike: ten levels, different characters to choose, tiles and some animations instead of ASCII.
I had fun beating it: I went for a pacifist conduct. Sometimes it can be cruel (a string of unlucky potions or unlucky scrolls), but that is part of roguelike experience I guess.
Well done!
A couple of notes for the developer:
- the "back" button is placed on top of the "menu" button, wich is at times confusing
- the mansion looks quite old from the outside, very modern from the inside, which is a bit jarring
- there is a lot to click in the pond, but not much to get, which I guess makes for awkward gameplay but good immersion
A nice little game that adds to a simple goal (collecting eggs before they crash on the floor) a very interesting mechanic (some bunny with a bouncing movement). Choosing between speed and accuracy becomes a balancing act which is easier at first and becomes a crapshot of frenetic bouncing by the end.
My first run was 60 points, had fun playing this. Thanks for source and linux binaries!
There is much good about this game, I am happy to see numerous comments.
I will point that it is doubly good if you are a developer yourself: this game is suprisingly playable, surprisingly fun, has progression, has symbolism, has minigames, has lore, with just minimal screen estate and four buttons.
It is a lesson in economy of means and will for sure change how you see games and game-making.
The dev's Design notes are as interesting as the game and will make you look at it with new eyes.
