LudumData

The Runemaker by Lythom

[raw]
made by Lythom for LD29 (JAM)
As a Rune assembler, you create powerfull weapon to help the hero go deep in the dungeon !
The creation system is made by assembling runes together to form magic properties.

Playable with mouse only, some few keyboard shortcut can help (left, right, espace).

I did not have time to finish the game. You can play around with it but some runes are buggy and the levels very repetitive. I'll add more content in a post version asap because I think this game really deserve some attention !

Because it's a loot system some runes are rare, fyi there is a total of 21 different runes =) Have fun !

interesting and fun
though after some time the UI got completely broken to the point where icons disappeared and were not reacting to clicks
also there some problems with rounding (1.400000001) for some modifiers

Thanks for your comments !
I added a post version compo that add/improve runes, fix interfaces bugs and change the difficulty curve if dungeons. If you like the idea of the game you should really enjoy this version =)

if you have 2 base attacks in your 'Sword', looks like damage is stacked, but floating values are overlapping (unreadable), more than 1 base armor doesn't stack

Fan-tastic! I love it, the musical component is a nice touch that could really have me playing it all day, unfortunately my lunch is only so long :(

Ha, that was fun! I liked how the attacks happen in rhythm with the music.

Wow, that's the kind of game I really enjoy! The idea is fantastic. At first it's hard to figure out how to construct runes, some explanations would help. Sometimes the calculations would go apeshit mostly due to modifiers. I think you should also put current sword/shield values somewhere so that you could check how runes effect them. Overall that's a really neat little game.

Really awesome! I've been playing it a lot. I have one question, though: What can you accomplish with an extra basic attack rune (green)?

Very very VERY cool game.
And I mainly hate all games about dungeons and knights and runes!

- The music and the fact that it looks like a musical game is really cool, cause it's a direct feedback on how good the player is
- The rune system seems pretty cool but a bit obscure to me right now, plus, I had a bug which makes the information disappear, don't really helped me :)

Very nice game, maybe a kind of filter or tabs system for the rune would help us to get which one do what and would be clearer.

(Thanks for your review on RMBR :) )
