Skeletal: A Barebones RPG by Galan

[raw]
made by Galan for LD26 (COMPO)
Take an generic, bad, old-school RPG, and strip out everything but the bones. That elusive thing called 'fun'? Make sure you grab that too. And make sure to accentuate the grind.

Awful game? Social commentary? Sure, why not!

-ADDED BONUS: It's short.



CONTROLS: Arrow keys to navigate, [Z] to select.

The ingame text is blinking weirdly and hard to read. Also without any instruction it鈥檚 hard to know what to do.

Okay, finally got the Windows build up.

On the topic of instructions, I thought the game was fairly straight-forward. What in particular is the problem?

Windows build isn't downloading for me...

Very easy game but it was fun and had a decent amount of enemies. Way too easy to pass through though (literally just spam 'Z'). Good job though!

Almost done writing my 1-letter strategy guide for this game! This definitely scratched the progression itch :)

That game is waaaaaaay too huge at ~98MB for what it is. But it is insanely funny nonetheless :D I actually felt like playing an old school rpg. I maxed out pretty fast, which wasn't after that much grinding, but I like that I have the option to continue doing so. Very cool game. Only complaint was the sound - if you strip the game of everything, don't leave one sfxr generated blip in there.

yeah, spamming Z i won and killed everyone. Maybe the next ld you can make a more longer game =)

Simple game, that fits the theme. Sadly the file size doesn't reflect that.
