Dauntless by Luthwyhn
Dauntless is intended to be a Rogue-like game which also draws inspiration from Gauntlet. You begin the game in a room with a special door. What's so special about it, you may ask? It's the only door that will let you out of this dungeon maze! It's also the only door that has been locked! The key is hidden somewhere in the dungeon - find it, bring it back to the door, and escape! (For this version I've made the Key's location known from the start of the game to help make up for the added difficulty of no Armor/Use Items)
Protip: You start with a weapon in your inventory. Equip it with the Use key! (C)
Key Features That Work:
-Dynamic map generation
-Snazzy HUD
-Player Character who can do things! YEAH!
-Functional inventory system
-Dynamically generated Weapons! KYAA~!
-Enemy Monsters who can kill you and be killed by you!
-A working victory condition!
Key Features That Don't Work Yet:
-Destructible Monster Spawners
-Armor! Usable Items!
-Level-Up system
-Traps!
-Variable movement speeds
-Running attacks
-A scrolling message area to tell you what's going on!
-...and More?!

Overall though, really great contribution :)
That scrolling message thing would be really useful.
I tried just running into them over and over but I died.
Good job anyway tho ;D
Nice rogue-like implementation though! I mean, with a base like this you could totally go any direction. Have you played any of the 7 day rogue-likes? Possessed, in particular, is a great one. Also Pyramid from, like, LD 26 is amazing.
