Aegeus' Gladiator by TheShamo

[raw]
made by TheShamo for LD 44 (COMPO)

First sumbmition for Ludum Dare.

I didn't have the opportunity to spend as much time on it as I wanted.

The story line behind is Theseus and the Minotaurs in the greek mythology where Athenians had to send 14 young adults in the Minotaur's maze as a tribute.

You are a character and you have to cross the maze. You've got several ennemies on your way. You earn money when you kill them.

You have to earn 50 gold during your crossing, otherwise you'll have to spend lifepoints in order to get to 50.

Only one level at this point, so a pretty fast game.

I would have loved to add more storytelling, power ups, range weapons, having to sell body parts, more types of ennemies, more levels ....

CONTROLS

Move : ARROW KEYS Hit : SPACE

Developped in Python, using the pygame library. Used DrPetter tool for the few sound effects in the game

Very short. Do the enemies wander? I got a shop message after completing it but then the play button wouldn't work anymore.

Nice work! I like the concept of a maze with limited visibility. I started with 50 money and didn't have to gather any, I assume that didn't get implemented yet? Overall a nice effort for < 48 hours development.

Beat the level! Didn't encounter any enemies though. Good first LD!
