When I was about 12 years old I went through a phase of playing weird text based online RPGs like hobo wars and this pokemon thingy.


This is a little something I put together in a few days kind of inspired by those.


How to play;

-Enter the battle area to fight and earn gold and XP

-Each time you level up, you'll earn a skill point which you can use to upgrade a stat on the player stats screen

-Use gold to buy shields, swords and health potions

-Swords slightly improve your attack, and shields slightly improve your defence

-Attacks have a 1/10 chance of being critical


Features:

-5 swords

-5 shields

-3 stats to improve and upgrade

-randomly generated coms to fight

-gambling and other extras

-20 NG medals

-leaderboards


Thanks for playing!

I plan to expand the game a little in the future- such as adding more locations and the like, as long people kinda seem to like it., so suggestions are welcome!

+100 enemy levels

+In-game instructions

(Also sorry for all the typos. They're...um...intentional. To recapture that...um..vibe...)

A simple, but pretty fun little title, even if the combat system can be broken clean in half by grinding at the punching bag and pouring all your points into strength. I can see *some* attempt to quell that by having higher-level enemies attack first, but it clearly wasn't enough.

There's a fair number of places to go, things to do and medals to earn outside the combat, so I can't hold it too much against this.

If you're looking for the Golden Astronaut, lick the pavement in the alleyway - you'll find it in the bottom-right corner.

cool game

Fun one

so the game is pretty fun some of the gear is pretty good, I got a good vibe from it A decent game here I was most amazed with all the little stuff this game had to offer pretty interesting lots of nice little details here and there, I think some improved gear like besides the sword and sheild could have other elements that help but overall this was pretty entertaining and amusing I was gald with the outcome So this is a game was nice, but overall a fun adventure game

~X~

one of the most nostalgic games for me, ever

fun
