Scotticus' Crypt by Zapfly1299
A short but hopefully kinda sweet dungeoncrawler made by our group of 4 for Ludum Dare 40. A bit rough around the edges but hopefully not too shabby for a group with just over a year's experience each.
In accordance to the theme, the keys that are required for progression bear curses that deduct from the player's stats.

The game is a mixed bag. The levels looks really nice, but the player and monster models don't fit with them, and it's pretty hard to guess when the enemies will hit you. Also, I may or may not have experienced a bug: When the second level started, my health bar was suddenly almost empty, yet nothing that happened (health pick ups, enemy attacks) seemed to affect it anymore.
I would have preferred some UI to show which keys I had picked up and what effect they had on me, as I forgot the effects by the time I reached level 2. I found it hard to tell whether the spikes on the ground were raised or lowered, because they have a similar colour to the floor. I eventually managed to work it out, but making them stand out would be a good improvement.
I found the game fun overall, and it fit the theme well. Good game!
