Flee the Creeper 1.0

A carnivorous vine creeps across the map and consumes anything it touches. It cannot be stopped, only slowed. Paint paths to guide villagers to safety, and use the environment to slow the creeper's progress: dig trenches, set it on fire, build moats, crush it with boulders, and sacrifice sheep!

Features:

  • 10 handcrafted villages
  • Thousands of procedurally-generated villages
  • 3 difficulty modes: relaxed, crowded, and endless survival

Rumor of Hearts 1.1 is live!

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=190641

Lots of improvements and fixes! Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. I incorporated as much as I could, and I think the game is much better as a result.

  • Added shooting sword beam when the player's health is full!
  • Navigation assistance: at the bottom of the screen, there are now "rumors" indicating which direction you need to go to get to the next heart container.
  • Heart containers must now be obtained in a certain order.
  • Enemy health and damage no longer scales with the number of heart containers. Instead, enemy health and damage is fixed, with easier enemies near the starting area and tougher enemies in the endgame areas like the graveyard and the mountains.
  • The player no longer loses all money and bombs upon death. Instead, the player respawns at the starting area with 3 heart containers of health.
  • Removed the "show hidden" option from the start menu. Instead, when all visible enemies have been defeated, any hidden entrance on that screen will be highlighted.
  • Moved some enemies around and changed a few.
  • Various bug fixes.
  • Various visual improvements.

A Rumor of Hearts 0.9 [WIP]

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=157025

I've been working on this off-and-on for about a year, and it's pretty close to finished. It's partly a Legend of Zelda demake, especially the overworld layout. I'd love any feedback or suggestions.

Some things I'd like to improve:

  • after publishing and trying it out online, I realized that the whole game is shifted a few pixels up and a bit cut off at the top--I will correct this in the next version.

  • music: I'm currently using music from a previous pico8 game that my son made, but I'm hoping I can get him to compose something for this game.

  • zora-like creatures: I'd like to implement a zora-like creature that hangs out in the water and spits fireballs. I have a mob in the game already that I could use for this, but that mob currently works only on land.

  • dialogue: I didn't finish adding all the dialogue I'd like.

  • room variations: I have some room variations in mind, especially for the treasure rooms
