ULTRATALE

After erasing the world, including themselves, Frisk and Chara find themselves back in the Underground to pay for their sins, but it's not the same Underground they're familiar with...

ULTRATALE is a fangame that turns UNDERTALE into a 2D ULTRAKILL-style game. Fight your way through the Underground(?) and escape the ruins!

This project is currently a demo/early access for what I would like to eventually turn into a full game that features all locations from UNDERTALE.

This demo currently includes the entirety of the ruins (excluding Home).

This game is a solo development project. Apart from some sprites and playtesting (huge thanks to my friend PrangsterBot for this! More details in the credits section below), everything in this game was done by me, therefore bugs are to be expected. If you encounter any, or have any feedback in general, feel free to send it in the discord in the ultratale-feedback channel: https://discord.gg/R4YBr6b2 (or you could comment here, but if it's a bug report I'd prefer it in the discord since it's easier to track).

FEATURES

• You can flick and shoot a coin!

• PARRYING!

• 3 unique weapons

• Includes the full Ruins map from UNDERTALE

• Ruins enemies with unique attacks

• 2 unique boss fights

• Launch an exploding Toby Fox into enemies

• SLIDING

• Saves your best time

• A lenient mode, for players who find the game too difficult. In lenient mode, enemy projectiles travel much slower, and you heal after clearing a room. Lenient mode can be toggled at any time by pressing [L]. Your time will not be saved if lenient mode is toggled at any point during your run

• Lots of blood

• Maurice...?

NOTES

Just some general information about the game that I think might be helpful for some:

• You do NOT need to interact with save points to save your progress. Progress is saved automatically in rooms with a save point, as well as after boss rooms.

• Just like ULTRAKILL, saves do not persist between sessions. If you close the game during your run, you will start from the beginning. You can think of this demo as similar to a single ULTRAKILL level.

• Whimsuns can be parried

CONTROLS

Currently the game only supports keyboard controls. Gamepad support, as well as rebindable keys, is planned for the future.

[WASD] - Move

[LMB] - Shoot

[LSHIFT] - Slide, fast-forward text

[RMB] - Parry (while sliding), flick coin (coin revolver)

Number keys or mouse wheel - Swap weapons

[SPACE] - Interact (outside of combat)

[ESC] (Hold) - Quit

[R] - Restart (on game over)

[Y] - Reload game

[L] - Toggle lenient mode

CREDITS

Huge special thanks to PrangsterBot for helping me with pretty much all the play testing. The game has significantly improved throughout development thanks to his feedback, and he created the following sprites:

• Sliding sprites

• Album cover

• Bullet (for coin revolver and minigun)

• F.O.X Launcher

• Muzzle flash on the guns

PrangsterBot was the only other person affiliated with the game. The following are not affiliated with the game in any way, but are the artists of free assets I found online and used:

All the Frisk sprites apart from the slide (made by PrangsterBot), are by Karamble: https://gamejolt.com/p/outdated-new-sprites-of-running-frisk-9rngdbet

The gun sprites are by Ranitaya Studios: https://ranitaya-studios.itch.io/ranitayas-guns-pack-16-pixelart-guns/download/eyJpZCI6MzQ3NTk3OSwiZXhwaXJlcyI6MTc3MjQ5NDgyM30%3d%2equey%2fHccA7DiCjLDk1QkIm2Gr6Y%3d

The gun sprites were also edited by PrangsterBot to add the muzzle flash and F.O.X Launcher.

The Chara laugh sprite is by PhongLan315: https://www.deviantart.com/phonglan315/art/Chara-laugh-869062692

The skulls and skull podiums is by u/Spamton_Gaming_1997 on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultrakill/comments/1p6hayx/all_of_my_ultrapixelart/

Explosion sprite by macrovector on Freepik: https://www.freepik.com/free-photos-vectors/pixel-art-explosion

Any other sprite or sound effect is from UNDERTALE, DELTARUNE, ULTRAKILL, or Terraria.

Everything else (e.g programming, music) was done by me (StrikeLight).

And of course, UNDERTALE belongs to Toby Fox and ULTRAKILL belongs to Hakita and New Blood.

PLANNING TO ADD

This game is a lot of work to develop by myself, so continued development of the game will be dependent on the reception it receives, and if people want to see it be completed. If there is a lot of support for the game, the following is some of what I plan to add for a full release. And if there isn't, this was still a fun project that I am proud of, and I think it can stand alone as what you can consider a single ULTRATALE level.

• The four main areas of UNDERTALE (Ruins (complete), Snowdin, Waterfall, and Hotland), + a secret level (True Lab), each with their own unique enemies and bosses

• A level ranking system similar to ULTRAKILL

• More weapons

• Remappable controls

• Controller support
