Attack The Vault - 2D, Top Down Nuclear RPG/Roguelike - Steal the waterchip! - Playable web build...

Hey guys,

Please check out the game I have been working on this year and let me know your thoughts.

It's relatively feature complete, there is a lot more to add and fine tune but it is playable and hopefully winnable - above all it is hard as hell.

You are stuck in a post apocalyptic world, your waterchip is broken and to survive (and win) you need to steal one!
You start off in the very vault that has a working chip and you need to use your cunning to grab it and escape.
You can mine, craft TNT, kill critters, manage your food, get radiation poisoning and use a basic XP system etc.

I suspect that I need to supply a tutorial of some sort but I have kept the UI and game-play as simple and intuitive as possible.

I have built a level editor that will allow easy production of hand crafted worlds.

Load/Save is not done yet - I am loading the world data programmatically, so the system should be trivial to implement.

NOTE

• The initial level load takes a few minutes.
• If you cannot use a tool, check that you have the INTELLIGENCE to use it, I'll def add proper error messages in future builds...
• To use ladders and ropes, stand over them and click on the character - you will climb up or down etc.
• Avoid Green radioactive clouds - manage your radioactivity on the top left.
• Night time is harmless in this build but it will be more dangerous in later builds.
• Make a fire to cook meat for lots of HUNGER rejuv.
• Drop flares to see where you are going when you are mining.
• You can sell stuff to the old dude on the top of the surface map.
• Avoid critters, but you need to kill them to increase your XP.
• Use your concealed inventory to store important things that you don't want to loose when you die.

 

I've updated the build with a bunch of fixes based on comments I have gotten from several forums.

I have not worked on proper tutorial/learning progression YET, but I think the new UI will make things a little easier.
