Spindly by Brian

[raw]
made by Brian for LD25 (COMPO)
Spendly is a mix between Gauntlet and modern hack'n slash. You are the evil part oh on RPG game. You create monsters to defeat the hero. But you are very weak, only one life point. Better run away and let your monsters army do the job. All you can do is create monster generator and hide behind them.

But Heroes want to eradicate the evil and you are the Villain. They will hunt you. But as they eliminate monsters they level and become more powerfull. Kill them before they become invincible.



Heroes :

- The White Knight of Dawn is slow with his armor but can kill many monsters at once.
- The Elven Archer is weak but fast. His Bow is the best weapon to destroy monster generator and make lot of exp points.


Your army :

- Normal skeletons : just hit heroes in close range. Reward 1 exp point for the hero.
- Pikachu's fan skeletons : create a trap that stop the hero when in range. Reward 1 exp point for the hero. Create with yellow gem.
- Kamikaze skeletons : one goal, try to blow up the hero. Leave a mark on the ground that deal dammages over time when on it. Reward 5 exp points if killed. Create with red gem.



In order to create generator, you have to eat ghosts. They walk all around mostly near fresh graves.


Game only playable with the mouse but because you are the Villain, you have CHEATCODES.

"A" add one level to the hero

"Z" charge you with a red gem.

"E" charge you with a yellow gem.

"Alt" add one skeletons to your pool. 5 max.

Smooth path finding. Rather confusing game play.

Hey Brian, I can't seem to do anything and the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work. Could you let me know if I'm doing something wrong?

It looks interesting, but I couldn't find how to play. Keyboard shortcuts don't work except for the white knight.
