Mystical Map is a rogue-lite that allows players to draw out their own path in each playthrough. Maps are randomly generated, but YOU have the ability to choose your path and use any items found to enhance it. Chart your course and take on various action platforming challenges!

Rogue-"lite" with a personal twist

Each adventure is not the same. This is due not only to a randomized map with randomized rewards, but one where you choose which rooms to challenge... and which to ignore. Are you a speed runner looking to optimize efficiency? Or a completionist seeking out new challenges? Maybe you even found a rare item to enhance your current route!

Room types include:

Elite enemies
Platforming challenges
Mimic Treasure Rooms
And more!

Game Features

Randomized maps that allow complete control over paths.
Action platforming gameplay with engaging mechanics to combine the best of both genres.
Items and enhancements to help you through your run.
Challenging enemies and bosses waiting for you if you choose to face them.
Permanent upgrades to reward you for each and every run.

Hotfix Patch 1.1 is Live!

With tomorrow being one week since Mystical Map's release, I wanted to address some items that were brought to my attention. As of now, patch 1.1 is live with a few minor changes.

Here they are:

Changed "Options" to "Controls" for clarity.
Capped the frame rate to be based on the monitor's refresh rate.
Fixed an index issue with save files from the demo.
Fixed the treasure room icon in the Mine mini map.
Fixed a display issue where the map stopped displaying text information about what kind of item was in a given room.
Added button textures to each map's "create" and "exit" buttons for clarity.
Added a new dialog box to inform players how to pick up items.

I would like to address the last point in detail. Prior to version 1.1, when standing over an item that was able to be picked up, a dialog box would appear detailing what the item's effects were. I received some feedback from players who were confused at first as they were unaware of their "interact" button mapping. To remedy this, when standing over a selectable item, you will now see this display:

Furthermore, this dialog box will change based on custom controls as well.

As always, if you have any feedback or bugs to report please do so in the comments or at my email, peep.gamedev@gmail.com

Thank you for supporting Mystical Map!
