A downloadable game for Windows

Another one of my ridiculous ideas turned into reality again. Anyway; the game has no story and the only goal is to find the boss, which takes about 1-2 minutes. The game is not really that fun either, but maybe it is at least interesting to you.

If you see a screen with "END" -> Game Over

If you see a screen with "FIN" -> Congratulations, you finished the game

Features :)

  • 2 different enemies
  • 1 boss battle
  • 2 colors
  • 2 different endings
  • Completely open world featuring two maps
  • No walls of text, because there is no text

The project has three purposes:

  1. Learn how to avoid mistakes for future more complex RPGs(which Game Managers do I need, how to save/reset a game, fighting mechanics, etc.)
  2. Keep my motivation up for making games, by making it easy to make them incrementally better
  3. It was also an experiment, on how many pixels do you really need to make an RPG... turns out not many... if you get rid of all the text... and the story. You also need a ton of imagination.

Known Issues:

  • There is a minor bug that sometimes causes graphical artifacts on game over or the end screen.
