Oh no! Your intelligence is quickly becoming a burden. After your last Richard and Mortimer binge-fest, your IQ has started to accelerate to unfathomable levels. Now, girls want nothing more but to listen to you explain the intricacies of quantum physics all day. As a gentleman, you cannot use your mastered blade to harm them. Instead, use your fedora techniques to enlighten them for as long as you can, and make sure your IQ doesn’t get too high; girls will chase faster for that succulent IQ.

This game was made by Chris Hurt, Daniel Zhang, and Jarod Raedels for our first Ludum Dare. This game is entirely satirical and is not meant to be offensive to anyone.

IQ Warrior was created using a custom game engine that uses LWJGL for audio and Java standard libraries for everything else. While the game doesn't always exhibit stellar performance, using our own engine and creating all of the graphics and audio from scratch makes it unique. Let us know how you think it turned out!
