Who would have guessed, making a puzzle game with metroidvania-like progression for MS-DOS with CGA graphics didn't really work, but if you want to try it, see here: https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-curse-of-cga (see "Releases"; requires DOSBox)

I still had fun, though.

The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.

Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").

I almost forgot to implement death. Well, here it is.

Sometimes I start a project but I lose motivation to finish it. This is one of these projects. The source code is available on Github, though, and there you can also play the prototype:

New things: - Item drops - Two new enemies (wraith & bee) - A crystal ball that will turn these pink floor tiles on - The test map is now looping, and so will be the main map, too - A test item that can be obtained

I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!

A very bare-bones shop that, however, mimic shops seen in some NES & GBC games. The prices are temporary. Speed boots not implemented yet. If you can afford something, you'll buy it by touching it, and if not, then you can walk over it with no effects.

Some funky hand-drawn animation. And I really mean hand-drawn animation: I drew the frames on a paper with a pencil and then scanned the result and created the gif.

Some new enemies: snake, chicken, pink thing and bat. Also, the missing attack "sword poking," is now implemented.
