Rogue ALIEN
An ALIEN-inspired roguelike/broughlike made during the 7DRL.
Unfortunately, while finished and playable, many features were left behind! Will probably keep working on it to add new enemies and balancing gameplay.
HOW TO PLAY
- Use WASD to move. You can move as many times as your STAMINA level per turn. Keep an eye on it!
- Move towards enemies for a melee attack
- Press F to leap on enemies
- After each cleared level, stats improve!
- Cows replenish health

Thanks for playing!! In that 7DRL version you were so overpowered. Stamina allows you to move several times per turn, so unless you do it really wrong, humans don't even have time to shoot! :D
We indeed worked a bit more on this game, adding more enemies (flamethrowes, turrets, synthetics...), skills (acid spit, circular attack) and using air ducts is required to survive (press F on an air vent!), and stamina works in a very different way. But life got in the way and the project had to be stopped :( Hope we get back to it soon!
alright, nice graphics but a bit simple overall - has potential!
Thanks! We were indeed working on una update with more enemies (5 already), new layouts and background tiles, animations and skills for the alien (3 already). But we had to stop because life and other projects requiring our attention! We will come back to this one at some point, though :D
I know the feeling haha!
Nice entry!
That's intersting to find a path attacking foes. But the movement animation is bit slowly, that will be better if they are faster.
Oh, you found it slow? But you can move as fast as you want! The moment you press it moves!
Will check it, just in case. Thanks for playing!
I know, it's a grid-based game so it will store the data when keyboard has action.
Yes, but it also cancels previous animations and begin new animations whenever you press the keyboard, except for certain actions like attacks. So you can move as fast as you want (almost) ^-^ No worries, thanks for the comment!
This is fun! Would love a PICO-8 version. :D
He, indeed, this could be perfectly done on Pico-8! : ) Moreover, the code base is LUA!
Nice game! The vents part is quite interesting.
You could add a new action to "detect" who is around when you're in a vent at the cost of some stamina.
Sooo many things didn't make it! That was one of them! Indeed, that's why dogs are there, so they would bark when hearing you lurking in the air ducts. Thanks for playing!
"that's why dogs are there"
Now I understand why everytime I emerge from a duct I got a "friendly bite".
Interesting mechanic :) Thanks for taking the time to answer.
mmm That would only happen if you end up next to a dog with your stamina depleted, so it's the enemy's turn!
