Beneath The Town: LD 29 Roguelike by Nkracer
Hi, I'm Nick and this is my Game 'Beneath the Town' It is a roguelike, where your goal is to explore deeper and deeper into the dungeons and kill the monsters inside. This is not only my first Jam game finished ever, but my first game finished ever, and as a 14 year old coder, I'm quite proud of it.
When you download it, run the 'Beneath the Town.exe' in the folder!
The story starts with, you a lonely adventurer, sitting in a tavern. A courier hands you a summons, to a small town nearby, and the pay is high, strangely high. you get to the town and they fill you in, Their village is being threatened by a dungeon beneath the surface of the ground. Only one thing is expected of you down there. Kill, or be killed. Have Fun!
Controls: G = Pick-Up, I = Inventory, arrow keys to move, esc to quit to main menu (autosaves) Once you finish on a level find the white '<' and cliack 'shift' + ',' whilst standing on it to move on!
known bugs: sometimes stairwell does not spawn, in which case start a new game, sorry.
- Occasional dumb AI will not attack, and will simply sit in place
- If you have many, many potions on you, game will crash upon opening inventory
Development stuffs:
Librairies: Libtcod
Language: Python
Programs: Notepad++, Py2Exe

The fog of war is great! I loved your game!
Ignoring those issues, it's still fun to play this game. It keeps things simple, which makes it enjoyable to just blast through. And the fog-of-war effect is excellent. I'm a bit confused by the controls for exiting a room, though; as long as the action still takes one turn, why isn't it just one key press? :P
But overall, this game does hit all the marks of a roguelike and is a cool experience, so nice work!
