CALTROPS
A roguelike strategy game about patience and careful timing. Escape through the layers of a randomly generated dungeon, laying traps in your enemies paths while avoiding the dungeon's own hazards. Level up to enchant your caltrops with unique powers, and grow in strength until you resemble a fraction of your former power - or you die.
HOW TO PLAY:
WASD: Move about
Hold space: spend 1 mana to summon your currently selected caltrop
- Your main goal is to find the key in each level and escape level 3 to win.
- Caltrops will usually summon right in front of you, but some variants will appear behind you, or to the side.
- You have 3 caltrops, that you'll cycle between summoning, they start as 3 mundane caltrops but when you level up you can replace one with a fancy enchanted caltrop.
- Every 10 times you move, you'll regen 1 mana, if you're on full mana, you'll heal 1 hp instead.
The Wizard cannot be killed, only trapped. The Wizard’s power cannot be extinguished, only lessened. The Wizard knows they will escape the dungeon. The Wizard knows they will have revenge on the heroes who sealed them away. Even if they only have one spell remaining…
