Crawloop by SH80

[raw]
made by SH80 for Ludum Dare 47 (COMPO)

Puzzle dungeon crawler where every dungeon floor looks the same. Traverse the staircases in the right order in order to pick up the orb on floor 3 before escaping on floor 1.

If you collect the orbs from all 8 levels you will reverse the spell put upon you by an evil wizard that turned you into a slug.

Written in Python with Pygame. More levels and items/mechanics planned but this will have to do for this Compo!

Yay, a winner is me!!

That was a pretty interesting and challenging puzzle game mechanic. I liked this game, and loved the retro style graphics. Good job!

alway great to see a game made in python :grin: enjoyed your clever puzzle mechanic, i think a visual indicator like a different floor color for every dungeon floor would help to better understand the mechanic

Such a clever puzzle mechanic, I'd get addicted to a more developed version of this. more complex levels with different orbs at different levels could be very interesting

I really like these kind of graphics, there's something old-school about them, but in an old-school PC way and not 8bit Nintendo. Also a pretty good puzzle time alongside a good use of the theme!

Behind the programmer art is a really neat puzzle game! I didn't read the description at the first go so I was stumped why I couldn't pick up the orb. But now a winner is me! :)

Pretty cool puzzler, really really confusing at first until I reread the help and experimented a bit. Liked the simple retro aesthetic, some sound would have been nice, even just basic sfx. I admit I only got to level 7 before it was enough for me, but I'm not that much into puzzles. Nicely done in a minimalist way.

Cute puzzle game, actually I like that you can observe whole level and see your goal without running there and back

The game was difficult for me so I didn't play through it, but I like the idea a lot! sith some sound effects and a bit better graphics this could be a really good game!

That was neat. It would have benifited from some sort of key repeat though, because especially on later levels you have to basically mash the arrow keys.

Interesting Puzzle Game!I really like the Idea! However,when I first played, I did not get the way to take orbs. If you can make it more easier to learn,it will be better! And I find out that level 3 is easier than level 2.
