I have a nit-pick about the colours though.  The colour wheel is based on paint colours (Primaries Red, Blue, Yellow) and thus the centre should be black, not white (all paints mixed together make black.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>With White in the centre it should have been based on light colours (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As for the 'this file is malicious' thing... all other Lundum Dare games I've downloaded have said it may be harmful and gave me the option to keep it.

Tried the camel again and got beat back. Went to blue to grind gold and killed loch ness easily enough, then went back to try and kill the camel.

Your hero lives in the central world, the white world, where all color has been removed. He decides to travel to the neighboring worlds to discover colors and bring them back to his world.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nArrow Keys\/Numpad - Move (you can move diagonally by using the numpad)\r\nNumpad 5 - Rest one turn\r\n(Press towards a space occupied by an enemy to attack it)\r\nControl + Direction - Use weapon (if you have one)\r\n(using a weapon costs gp)\r\nZ\/X - Switch selected weapon.\r\nH - Use healing spell (costs 20 gp)\r\nM - Use multi-attack (costs 15 gp) (attacks every adjacent enemy with sword)\r\nT - Use teleport spell (costs 10 gp)\r\n\r\nGameplay:\r\nThe game progresses in turns. Every time you perform a standard action, the enemies will act afterwards.\r\nKilling enemies rewards you with gold (gp).\r\nGold is consumed by using weapons and spells.\r\nYou enter worlds of different colors by entering doors.\r\nAfter defeating enough enemies in a world, the boss will appear.\r\nDefeat every boss to win.\r\n\r\nPress any key at the title screen to start.\r\n\r\nWe are planning to release an updated and upgraded version of the game to our blog.\r\nVersion 2 will improve where this version was lacking, principally level design, enemy behavior, etc. It will also add new features.\r\nIf you would like to be notified when it is released, you can follow our blog or e-mail us at robotsoulsgames@gmail.com.\r\nIf you find any bugs in the game, or you have any suggestions for version 2, e-mail us at robotsoulsgames@gmail.com.\r\n\r\n(Note: A bug involving curses lasting forever has now been fixed at 5:00PM 8\/27\/2014.
