Tired of all the encumbering exploration and procedural generation roguelikes have to offer? Agoraphobic?<\/p>\n

\u00a0Trying not to spoil too much with this gif.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished. This is the second LD I\u2019ve participated in, the first one I\u2019ve finished, and the first game I\u2019ve ever completed. Thanks, LD. It was super fun.<\/p>\n

I was able to squeeze in a second tier of enemies and a way to win in the last 20 minutes. There are issues with balance and difficulty, but hopefully it\u2019s not game-breaking. I didn\u2019t have much time to test it. If I didn\u2019t sleep in so long on the first day, it\u2019d probably be much more balanced.<\/p>\n

Some people are having issues with crashing. I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s because of them not having the XNA 4.0 redistributable, which really sucks.\u00a0I don\u2019t want to make a bunch of people have to install stuff. Maybe I\u2019ll use something else next time so my game will work in a web browser.<\/p>\n

Overall though, I\u2019m pretty happy with it. Especially the audio. All the music\/ambience\/sound effects are random, which gives it a really funky and eerie tone.<\/p>\n

All the feedback I\u2019ve gotten has been along the lines of \u201cI DON\u2019T GET IT WHAT\u2019S GOING ON OH GOD\u201d. Pretty much exactly what I was going for. I made sure not to hold the player\u2019s hand too much. There are a lot of little details you can figure out that really help you if you pay attention. I hope there\u2019s a bit of fun somewhere in the game.<\/p>\n
