Minion Rush by Deamonus

[raw]
made by Deamonus for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

Foul dreaded evil goody doogooders have raided your masters Dungeon!

Fortunatly the big scary defenders have defeated them, however they left all the masters gold spread out in the dungeon! Time to get cracking and find all the loot so the hoard can be filled back up before the master awakens. He will not be pleased if his hoard isn't in perfect condition!

Running around as minion is hard work, fortunatly your ghostly form allows you to scale the walls and ceilings so you can find the treasures those pesky adventurers hid everywhere!

Scale walls like its nothing!

Oh what a feeling, walking on the ceiling!

Controls for the game are "easy" as pie ( well eating it, not that this will do you any good since you are a ghost afterall)

Movement : Wasd for the old and trusted Forwards(W), Backwards(S), left(A) and right(D) strafing. Looking around : Your trusty mouse will help you look around like its nothing! Jumping : a Robust jump is available under your Space Bar

*How about that wall and ceiling climbing? * Easy peasy, just walk up to a wall and jump towards it, most walls will switch the gravity! You will be walking and discovering the world like there is no tomorrow in seconds!

Need an Ingame menu? Just Press P or the ESC key!

Powerups? We got those!

there are 3 temporary boost to find in the game : speed.png
Speed! Will nearly double your movement speed for a whole 30 seconds! jump.png
Jump! Will double your jump speeds for another whole 30 seconds! time.png Timedilation! Finding the special time dilations will make the master drowsy and add 30 seconds to the timer.

Make good use of these hidden powerups, once they are gone, they are gone! The master doesn't hand these out nilly willy.

And what game would be complete without an indept HUD? interface.png Using state of the art technology the game HUD will show you these very important pieces of information! A = If you have a speed boost enabled! B = If you have the jump boost enabled! C = the amount of coins you have collected and how many to still collect! D = Time remaining untill the big bad scary monster will wake up!

Great effects! It's impressive to build a game like this in such a short time. but, climbing the walls made me a bit dizzy, haha. After a few gravity shifts, the perspective tilted completely, and the dizziness made me to close the game early:p

Congrats on such a fun and unique dungeon crawler! The ghostly minion twist, along with the ability to scale walls and ceilings, brings a fresh dynamic to treasure hunting.
