Mindless Text Adventure by mindlesslump

made by mindlesslump for LD30 (COMPO)

This is my first Ludum Dare. My game is terrible, but it runs and is playable, so I'm pretty happy.

I tried for an hour to get Eclipse to export properly to a runnable JAR, but it's incredibly finnicky, so I gave up.

To run the game, import the folder into Eclipse and run it as a project.

(just fyi, 'WEB' means its playable right from your browser, or embedded in other words. a web link to a downloads page doesnt fit)

I got it working when I moved all image files to a subdirectory called "res". Otherwise the map would not show, the window would be too small and clicking buttons is impossible. I think fixing that is not against the rules.

As for the game, it just got interesting when talking to the guard... and then, well. At least the end screen made me smile :)

It's refreshing to see a text adventure for a change, though.

Apart from the length, the most beneficial feature would be to have dedicated buttons for directions called N, E, S, W, and have them positioned accordingly.

Hi there. The web link should run in browser. Not rated yet.
