New game: Castle of Dr Game
New game: Castle of Dr Game
The evil Dr Game has set out on a mission to steal all of the classic video games from the world, and keep them locked in his castle for only himself to enjoy. Every cabinet, every motherboard and every ROM has started to vanish from the world as he slowly gathers his collection together.
Gamers are angry, and have sent you to the castle to get them back so humanity can once again enjoy these classics.
Dr Game has locked the games deep inside his sinister castle; a maze of rooms, passages and locked doors. Some of the rooms he has made to look like the games he has already collected, so be prepared as you venture inside.
This is not a mega, groound-breaking release, it's just a test to try our AGDmini. Enjoy.

I don't agree! This is great. Saved 6, seen 7.
If Lode Runner is one of the minigames, he'll have to be a pixel.

Fantastic work, [mention]PaulJ[/mention], this plays brilliantly. Lots of character packed into those little sprites and their animations. I like it a lot!

Trudge I’m afraid. Maybe I should have marked the doors or provided some other way to inform the player which order they are.Rev_Stuart_Campbell wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 11:59 pm It seems like fun but is there any sort of logic to which door a key will open or do you just have to trudge around trying every one until you find the one it works on?

Did you intentionally miss out the three secret rooms?pavero wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:49 pm Or you can look at the map.

Re: New game: Castle of Dr Game
A fair point. I have to concede the 25%.Rev_Stuart_Campbell wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 7:05 pmYeah, that's a real shame. Huge flaw in an otherwise really spiffy little game that's right in my sweet zone. 25% off.
(And I don't actually see any merit/point in it. What harm would there be if any key opened any door? Obv you'd have to make sure every door had a key behind it so you wouldn't get stuck, but otherwise why can't people play the sections in any order?)
It would make it easier to play though as I put a fair few 'multi-visits' to rooms in to add to the challenge and play time.

Re: New game: Castle of Dr Game
Not intentionally, I didn't have any idea about existence of secret rooms. But maybe It is a better solution now, I will add them to the map later, of course if I discover them firstly.PaulJ wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 12:44 pmDid you intentionally miss out the three secret rooms?pavero wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:49 pm Or you can look at the map.
