Lute Quest

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!

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!
