Here's a gameplay screenshot:
- This game is inspired by RPGs, and its gameplay consists of choosing a pet companion and going on an adventure of encountering and fighting monsters.
- The player starts out with 10 health, 0 gold and a damage level of 1.
- Each round a random monster is encountered and the player can choose to fight it or to run.
- If the player decides to run, there is a 50% chance of getting away scar-free and a 50% chance of getting damaged by the monster while running away.
- Running away does not cause leveling up.
- If the player decides to fight, the player attacks first and if the monster has remaining health it attack back.
- After this exchange of blows, the monster runs away and the player levels up (damage increase by 1) and proceeds to the next round.
- At the start of the game the player gets to choose a pet companion and to give them a name.
- There are three types of pets and each of them add an unique gameplay element.
- Cats heal the player for 1 health at the start of each round.
- Dogs increase the players damage by 1 at the start of each round.
- Crows provide the player with additional gold at the start of each round.
Monster attribures can be seen in the following table:
| Type | Health | Damage | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dragon | 20 | 4 | 100 |
| Orc | 4 | 2 | 25 |
| Slime | 1 | 1 | 10 |
The game ends when the player reaches level 20 (win condition), and ends if the players health drops to zero (lose condition). Glhf
