Lute Quest

I can write a roguelike in Flash in a week, right? Ok, maybe not. But I got at least partway there. Can you find the Lute? Updates Game of the week #10 entry The theme was ‘games made using only characters from a single tileset’. Perfect, since I can’t draw graphics for toffee. Bonus points if you spot the eighties game references. Updated 13/10/09 – some typos and spelling errors have been squashed. There’s probably lots more. Thanks for the feedback!

There’s probably lots more. Thanks for the feedback! Update 16-10-09 Thanks for all the feedback, especially KerakDragon. Changes: Some of the text fields are now bigger, so if you want to reach level 100 without glitching, you can. Dwarf toughness bonus is now 20% instead of 10%. Spell failure chance for non-elves increased slightly. Messed around with the ordering of final dungeon creatures. Constitution has a greater effect on hit-point gain per level Higher xp gain for dungeon levels 2+3, to make them more worthwhile. Healing spell buffed a bit. The game should be marginally easier now, so beat your old highscores!show less Instructions It’s keyboard controlled. Use the numbers for the menu options (numpad won’t work for this). No complicated intructions to remember here. Really. This is not Nethack.
