A post-jam version is now available ! More information at the end.

Falling Dwarf

A game made in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 48 game jam.
The theme was : Deeper and Deeper

Falling Dwarf is an action adventure roguelite game with 2D elements in a 3D environment.

Story (if there is one ?)

One day, for some mysterious and unknown reason, a giant hole appeared near a dwarves village. This endless hole overflows with minerals and treasure.

You are a dwarf from this village and you decide to explore this mysterious hole in order to bring plenty minerals to your village. But be careful as there are monsters as well.

The deeper you go, the rarer the minerals found, and the stronger the ennemies you encounter.

Will you be brave enough to go deeper and deeper ?

Gameplay

You start at the village. From there, you either deep in the Hole or visit the Smith.

-The Hole-

You fall in the void, making your way from platform to platform. On each platform there are either minerals or monsters (maybe both). Mine minerals to gather resources and kill monsters to gain money.

When you feel it is time to get out of the hole, use the jetpack to get back to surface.

Be aware that if you die, you will return to the village at the cost of losing half of your resources.

-The Smith-

Once you gathered enough resources, you can visit the Smith at the village to get some upgrades. These upgrades will make your life easier when you deep dive in the hole !
