Dungeon Explorer

Tips: 

• The dungeon is a huge labyrinth! Use the deployable beacons (E/SPACE key) for your exploration strategy: you can use them as breadcrumbs or use the different colors to mark dead-ends and paths that you are still exploring. Try not to get lost!
• Collecting the key will trigger the dungeon collapse sequence immediately, plan your route to the exit ahead of time!

Commands:

Use WASD or key arrows to move

Use E or SPACE to interact with objects and to deploy beacons.

If you interact with a beacon you deployed, you can change the light color or collect it again. Use the beacons to avoid getting lost!

Collect coins and gems for points. Collect stars for a temporary speed boost.

My entry for the KenneyJam 2023 - Theme: Exploration

You're an adventurer looking for treasures in a dungeon: loot, find the key, open the escape route and run to safety! Be careful, after you collect the key (or some time has passed the dungeon will start to collapse, find the exit before that happens!

It's easy to get lost in this maze-like dungeon, be sure to use your deployable beacons to keep track of the routes you have already explored.

Developed on a custom engine written in Typescript, that uses Pixi.js for rendering.

Next steps:

• Limit number of beacons (10-20)
• Scaling difficulty
• Polish
