I thiiiink the Blitzkast is now finished. Some people are probably still working on their things though.
Heres my entry:
DownloadSo! This is *obviously* an autobiographical game right. Its about that time I was a centipede eating dirt, four years ago
It is an attempt at combining a dungeon crawler game with Snake.
Move your centipede with the arrow keys.
Eat through soil to dig tunnels, gain life and grow longer. A longer centipede can eat harder (darker) soil, but is slower, more awkward to control, and there is more of you to hit for enemies.
You can move backwards by moving back towards your neck, which will make the whole body step backwards, but your tail cannot turn corners, so you can get completely stuck if you don't have enough room to turn and get to a dead end. I didn't put a restart level button whoops. Ill add one tonight and maybe new levels (right now there's just 4 simple levels, an intro and an end screen)
You can also damage enemies by walking into them (like in most roguelikes) Hold the movement key towards them to keep attacking, no need to hammer the button. You do not have a maximum life, you just accumulate more life every time you eat.
the N key skips to the next level if youre stuck or bored with the current one
Touch the treasure chest in every level to move to the next. There arn't many levels yet.
If I work on it again it'll be to make it more like my original idea which made the game more like an actual dungeon crawler. Treasure to find, equipment, doors and keys, more fun enemies, multi-screen levels, fog of war. possibilities are endless! I also thought of having the centipede's separate body sections all have separate armor or something, so when you get some gear you can use some body sections as a shield from projectiles with some careful walking. Maybe there would be ways to chop yourself up shorter, which would remove a big amount of health but make it easier to dodge. Would possibly happen by attacking your tail like you would enemies, and it would cut off you health by the same ratio as how much you shortened yourself
I spent just a little over 5 hours on it.
