Overview

Here is my game demo of "Artix" for the ByteOff 2019 competition to try out. STORY You are Artix, the pun slinging, axe wielding, Paladin in training. You have been sent to to investigate a strange necropolis. It is rumored that a DoomKnight is raising an army of the Dead there. ABOUT THE GAME (ZELDAVANIA?) I wanted to create a true 8-bit NES game in the style of my 2D web-based game, AdventureQuest Worlds. Like that game, Artix only attacks left and right-- but he can still move in all directions giving freedom of exploration. For this contest I focused on more interesting encounters over a smaller number of rooms. You should be able to beat it in a short sitting of 10 to 15 minutes. HOW TO PLAY MOVE - Use your joypad to move. B BUTTON - Attack with Battleaxe A BUTTON - Once found, this will summon the undead slaying Pomeranian, Daimyo. KNOWN BUGS - Red Dragon does not completely disappear when defeated - Sometimes Shadowbeast runs into a wall and gets stuck - Zorbak's dialog which turns night into day randoly misfires - It looks like you are throwing Daimyo (sorry puppy!) - Attacking too fast causes the weapon to move strangely - Do not move during dialogs-- this causes the warp to next screen not to work O_O
