PC/Mac   Alpha Release 1 was ARRP 2013

I’ve decided to let the inventory update out there into the big wide world, be aware that “The Big Content patch™" is going to be much later when I get the mechanics finalised. Therefore theres not an awful lot more content in this release but the mechanics are starting to fall into place.

So this is the new playable alpha! Be sure to read the readme!

First Person Roguelike - Taking Roguelike elements and jamming them into an FPS: ASCII graphics, randomly generated enemies, random levels, randomly generated weapons. Random everything really. W,S,A,D - Movement Space - Jump Mouse 1 - Fire Mouse 2 - Pick up (Make sure you position your reticle over the item you wish to collect!) Mouse 2 + Mouse 1 - Punch r - Reload i - Open Inventory p - Pause Game esc - Quit Game (In the Inventory) i - Exit Inventory e - Use Inventory Item down arrow - Move Inventory selection down (no up movement yet, sorry!!) The exit for each level is a big green cube. When you pick up a weapon your reticle should be over it - Beware! Once you equip a new weapon, the old one is gone forever! There is no win condition currently, so I'm afraid its just an infinite dungeon at the moment!
