A Name Is Earned [Project 2021-5]
Contacted by a mysterious organization, Benetton must travel into a dungeon and clear out a horde of monsters using a magic sword.
Controls:
- WASD keys to move (Recommended).
- Arrow keys to move
- Space to slide (invincible while sliding).
- Click to attack
- Mouse to aim
Description:
This sword, known as the 'Beastial Rage', has the ability to deal huge damage if used with 10 seconds of killing an enemy (8 times damage) and will return some health. The downside is your color vision is gone, forcing you to see the world in a more primal way.
Game Jam Themes:
This project was made for both the Black and White Game Jam and the Bullet Hell Jam.
- The Bullet Hell Jam Theme was "10 seconds", so the weapon in this has 10 seconds in which it's power is incredibly upgraded.
- The Black and White Jam theme was "You will only miss it when it is gone". Since every level starts with having the ability going, it can be very tricky to get it back if it is lost.
Tips:
- Play in full screen.
- You are invincible while sliding, use this to get out of tough situations quickly.
- The largest enemy has 6,000 hit points and takes 30 hits to go down. You may want to keep other enemies alive incase your ability gets too low.

=== Update 5/19/2022 ===
While I was replaying, I noticed some color had slipped through on one of the menus so I fixed that. I also replaced the splash screen with a black and white image to fully remove all color from the project. I also replaced the normal Defold loading screen with the black and white "Made with Defold"

Difficulty needs a spike.
i think the secret ending is broken, its just a black screen
yeah i can't see it either
Yikes! Not sure how that happened. I've added it to my list of things to fix.
i think i might have an idea of who the Knight from Out Of Time is after playing this.
the Knight = Benetton
Edit: that would also mean Benetton is the guy with the gun in Rogue Royale, so not so sure anymore.
Edit 2: Just played Last Man Standing, apparently there is multiple. There is a blonde hair guy and somebody else.
Rogue Royal is my biggest regret from the challenge. In terms of gameplay it's not great, the story is confusing, and overall is something I very much want to remake but am stopping myself from doing for various reasons. The 'How to play' menu explains that it's a training simulator but I think most people miss that.
"From the Ashes" (Game 12) should clarify much of your confusion when you get to that one.
cool
Interesting concept, I enjoyed the power boost mechanic, it makes you keep moving constantly in the search of an enemy, and the mechanics around it (grouping low HP enemies with a high HP one) is a nice idea!
I would suggest looking into the enemy AI, I've found some cases where the archers get stuck in the walls.
Good game!
I'll look into the AI! AI programming has never really been my strong suit, so I'll see what I can do!
