Welcome to Looters! Collect gold, slay monsters, get rich! This is one of my larger games, so hold on tight and let's start the instructions. ==INSTRUCTIONS== On your turn you have multiple choices what to do. First off you must 'search' to find out what is in the room. Then, if there is a monster/thief, you must 'fight'. If your attack is higher than it's defense, you win and get exp. If not, the monster attacks. If the monster's attack is greater than your defense, the monsters attack is subtracted by your defense. That's how much HP you lose. You must defeat the monster before you can do anything else. There are also thieves. If you beat a thief, you steal their gold. If you lose, the thief steals your gold. (Not all of it) Next, you can 'loot' if there is a treasure chest or health pack. Treasure chests give gold, a weapon, a shield, an artifact, or a Lost Page Of The Looter. Gold is used to win the game. The more you have, the better you did. Weapons raise your attack. Shields raise your defense. Artifacts you can either sell at a shop(more on shops later) or save until the end. If the cave collapses (more later too) and you still have artifact(s), then you lose them all.(or just the one) Lost Pages Of The Looter are used in the companion project, Lost Journal Of The Looter. The pages tell the story of a looter. Try to collect all the pages! Next, you can 'shop' if there is a shop in the room. At shops you can buy weapons, health packs, and shields. You can also sell artifacts, but for not as much as if you escape with them. Next, if you want, you can 'exit' the dungeon. This ends your game and tallies your gold. You probably want to exit soon after the dungeon starts collapsing. When the dungeon starts to collapse, you have a limited amount of time left. If it collapses on you, you lose all of your artifacts, and a third of your gold. Finally, once you have decided you are finished with the room you are in, and you do not want to exit the dungeon, you can 'explore'. This sends you to the next room, full of new decor, monsters, and looting to be done. Whenever you enter a room, there is a chance of an event happening. It can either be good or bad. Upgrades to weapons, losing of HP, and many others. Once you have collected enough exp, you level up. This allows for higher level weapons and shields. But beware, enemies also get harder. But you also get to boost a stat, attack or defense. Whew. That's about it. If you didn't get all that, just play through. You'll get it eventually. Good luck, and happy looting!
This is a really big game, and a lot can go wrong. So don't be surprised if there are a few bugs. The most common being: Whenever you boost a stat, and error message shows up. I don't know how to fix it, but it doesn't actually effect anything. So... Sorry in advance about bugs. Big thanks to tehrcb for him finding the music for me for the title screen. It makes such a difference.
