Cavern Defense by Stoney
Cavern Defense is a turn-based strategy game for two players.
If you like the game and rated it but are annoyed by the bugs, check out the updated version: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2009/09/04/cavern-defense-updated-version/
The game is not completely finished and there are still some nasty bugs in there.
Big Bug 1:
You don't see any darker areas any more when trying to move a unit.
Bug Workaround:
Press R to reset the game and move a unit just one field at a time.
Big Bug 2:
Orc archer can only attack human archer and vice versa. (Same for swordsmen and pikeman)
There is no workaround for this bug, sorry.
Instructions:
Left-click: Selects a unit.
The brighter area is where this unit can move in this turn,
the darker where it cannot.
The red rectangle show how far your selected unit can attack.
Attacking only works if your target is within the red rectangle.
Left-click to move or attack
Right-click: De-select unit
Linux notes:
- You need libSDL, libSDL_image, libSDL_mixer, libSDL_ttf and libSDL_gfx installed on your system to run the game.
Mac OS X notes:
- For some strange reason (specific FreePascal/SDL_mixer/Mac OS X - bug) there is no sound on Mac OS X.
- Be sure to copy the application from the image file to a directory with write permissions because the game creates a log file.
