The Disk Heist

>> DESCRIPTION

This is a first-person turn-based dungeon crawler with pixel graphics and a sci-fi setting.

You must break into the Ikari research station and steal a disk containing secret data. At the same time, the station is being infected and dangerous mutants and evil robots are appearing.

This project is very short and contains only 1 level out of 5 planned. GameMaker's statistics say that the project was made in less than 2 days of pure time (39 hours, to be exact). In reality, I spent much more time on it.

The game was created specifically for the Turn Based Dungeon Crawler Jam themed Swap.

>> HOW TO PLAY:

You move around the cells and can pick up items lying around and interact with boxes or enemies.

You can take items from the boxes. You will need items for simple tasks: replacing fuses in the shields near the doors, first aid kits for treatment.

When you approach an enemy and interact with it, a turn-based battle begins: you choose a sequence of actions, and the enemy chooses theirs. Next comes the “comparison” stage of your actions.

The player can attack, defend, run away, change weapons, or use skill 1 or skill 2 (automatically available at hero levels 2 and 3, respectively).

The character attacks with their current weapon. Weapons have a charge. When you change weapons, both guns are reloaded. Therefore, you will need to change weapons frequently.

In the middle to end of the game, you will encounter a mini-game block: there you need to draw a line of green blocks from one corner of the field to the other.

Then comes the most important move: you must steal the disc by replacing it with an empty one!

>> Warning!

This game has a lot of bugs and unfinished features.

This game has a lot of bugs and flaws.

Known game bugs:

  • The MEDKIT item may "fly out" of the inventory and become impossible to pick up or use. (This can happen with other items, but less often).
  • The enemy robot (since it is mobile) may occupy the same cell as the player and the battle will not start at this moment.

Maybe a variant of the first known bug: the fusible may fly out of the fusible box... Now I am blocked :s

Yes, this is a variant of that bug. Sorry about that! Unfortunately, it really does block progress, like a soft lock. Sorry about that!
