Darned Dungeon

[Marcus]

A game about some sort of Australian boomerang throwing mate trapped in a weird dungeon will be released in a few days! So get ready for eight levels and a boss fight (ye, it's a short game)!

Looking good..... I am looking forward to it.....

Love the boomerang! Feels like home... The only things missing are the Didgeridoo and witchety grubs... lol

Oh, short game or not, I personally am looking forward to actually getting to level 2... For me, getting through level 1, is a huge deal... lol

Very cool... lol

My plan was to finish Robowack 3 during my vacation, but instead I made this game. Can you beat it?

[johnno56]

Well... I almost got to the end of level 6... As Maxwell Smart once said, "Missed it by 'that' much".

Very cool game!!!

Thanks, and I'm glad you tried the game and made it that far!

Here's a playthrough if you want to see the naughty boss at the end:

Oh... Level 7 introduced those fireball spitting guys! Seriously doubt I would have survived that!! But, the 'bad guy' in the last level, aw man... It looks like I am going to need a LOT of luck and practise... Yikes!! This game belongs in a dungeon crawler JAM... SO cool...!!! What are the chances of this one being bundled with N7's examples?

Hi Marcus,
thank you for the new game Darned Dungeon. I love it !
by the way, in the source files, you made a folder called work where dungeon.xcf is there.
What is the purpose of the file *.xcf ?
Thanx.
