My Dot World by dlan

[raw]
made by dlan for LD23 (COMPO)
A little RPG about a pixel who decided to rise against the established order enforced by the graphic card and it army of dead pixels.

Known bugs :

- No real ending condition, you will see game over screen, but you can continue playing the game after that.

- Only one out of 4 spell is properly implemented, the others spells are untested.

- bugs with update of HP / MP values after leveling.
- some chest aren't working.
- general balancing issues.
- dexterity not implemented
- no possibility to go back to village after quitting it
- pressing a direction key and opening a dialog window at the same time make the character go out of control
- killing opponents from bottom to top rather than from top to bottom stuck the battle into infinite enemy turn.

Fun! I went into one of the houses and read "NUMBER 64564 is at work, you must do the same." And i kept holding up and then the blue pixel dude went flying up to the top of the screen and now he is stuck there. Thought i'd let you know :-)

Thanks for playing it ! I got some velocity bugs floating around, but have been too short on time to track them down previously. Thanks for spotting it, will fix that in the next version.

Kind of fun, a little drab and not well scaled for difficulty. The art is pretty good for the style, like an old game boy. I found a lot of pretty serious bugs like no killing the enemies in top down order makes you die. I ended up killing the boss first try in two hits so I didn't get to see half the spells.

I couldn't figure out what to do after visiting all the houses and killing a million black pixels...

Found a bug in the web version... Seems that when I kill one guy, the other gets infinite turns, and then I just die.

Just me, perhaps?

It seemed like too buggy to rate for me, as I just die every time I fight someone because of their infinite turns. I could play through it that way, but it's not worth the effort for me, sorry.

I like the style. In the bottom left house of the first area there's a chest that does nothing (doesn't say Show Dialog either.)

@Puzzlem00n
there is a bug when you kill your opponents from bottom to top, rather than from top to bottom. that come from the joy of adding features at the last minutes :/
