https://jusiv.itch.io/a-dreams-command A Dream's Command is a little RPG that just barely fits in a PICO-8 cart, using all of the available code, texture, audio, and map space. It takes 45-ish minutes to beat, by my estimate. - - - BASIC CONTROLS - - - NOTE: The icon for the Z key in-game looks like (O), as is standard with PICO-8. Menus:
Overworld:
If you stand still for a few seconds, you can view your current status. - - - COMBAT - - - You have three basic types of skills you can use in combat: Attacks, Spells, and Actions. In order to use a skill, you will have to perform a quick minigame to determine its effectiveness. As you level up, you will unlock more skills. Attacks and Spells are offensive. The base damage they deal is determined by how well you execute their minigame, but the final damage dealt is also affected by the enemy's defense against the chosen type of skill. Higher-tier Attacks and Spells are more powerful, but also harder to execute.
Actions are defensive, and there are only two available: Flee and Recover. Flee exits a battle (if executed correctly), while Recover restores up to half of your maximum health and can cure status effects.
Lastly, there are three status effects which enemies can give you: Poison, Dizzy, and Panic.
This game was originally released on the PICO-8 website in July 2017. You can still find and play it there: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=29727 |
