Could be some kind of bug since I remember removing one in the later version but I don’t know if it already existed in this early version. But it could also be that the structure of the dungeon is not that intuitive. The dungeon is different every time and the layout of the rooms is basically a tree structure, so there should be no circles … it’s more like the corridors connecting the rooms can be different in length. Going NORTH→EAST→SOUTH→WEST does not mean that you went in a circle.

 Not like this:       |  More like this:
                      |
 #######     #######  |  #######     #######
 #     #     #     #  |  #     #     #     #
 #  2> .......  3  #  |  #  2> .......  3  #
 #     #     #  v  #  |  #     #     #  v  #
 ###:###     ###:###  |  ###:###     ###:###
    :           :     |     :           : 
    :           :     |  ###:###        : 
    :           :     |  #  ^  #        : 
    :           :     |  #  1  #        : 
 ###:###     ###:###  |  #     #        : 
 #  ^  #     #     #  |  #######        : 
 #  1 5....... <4  #  |                 : 
 #     #     #     #  |  #######     ###:###
 #######     #######  |  #     #     #     #
                      |  #  5  ....... <4  #
                      |  #     #     #     #
                      |  #######     #######

If you have have problems finding your way through the dungeon you can try to always stay at the right or at the left wall. This also works in most normal labyrinths (but not in labyrinths with circles).

Thanks! Like I wrote it would be possible to reduce the size of the code and make the card more readable. I made a simpler version at first with a bigger font size and even a qr code that linked to the page on itch.io. But I think the final version is a lot more fun.

Just in case you want to test it, this is the smaller earlier version:

Thank you! It was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the jam. But – to be honest – I don’t think that this was the original idea behind the rule ‘Your game should fit onto a business card ...’ :)

Well, I don’t have time to make YouTube videos right now. However there already are a lot of good tutorials out there.

First of all – all the tools and assets used to create this game are completely free.

For the graphics I used KolourPaint, which is a bit like the old msPaint from Windows XP (but for Linux and with support for alpha channels). But I would not recommend this tool anymore since in newer versions there are a lot of bugs – so I switched over to Aseprite (which is awesome).

Aseprite costs 15$ but you can also download it from GitHub for free and built it from source (not sure if you can use it for commercial projects that way).

https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite

If you need good tutorials on Aseprite or pixel art in general, this guy has a lot of useful videos:

https://www.youtube.com/user/atMNRArt

There are countless tutorials on the web.

Retro style sounds effects can easily be made using something like sfxr (I think I used bfxr for this game which is essentially the same).

https://stammel.net/projekte/sfxr/

Music is always my biggest problem. But there are a lot of free assets online that can even be used commercially (when using free assets you should always be very careful about the license). One of the best places to find free game assets (not only music) is opengameart.org.

https://opengameart.org/

Programming was done in a language called MonkeyX2. But I also code a lot in CerberusX (which is a fork of the predecessor if Monkey2). Both are completely free* and can be used for commercial games. The communities are very small for both of them but the people there are extremely friendly and will help you if you run into any problems.

https://www.cerberus-x.com/

http://monkeycoder.co.nz/

I hope that helps at least a little bit.

* please support the developers if you like these tools.

Tiny Pixel Wars comments · Replied to Yordan in Tiny Pixel Wars comments

Sorry, I checked this again – the (windows) application is 32 bit, not 64 bit. So it should theoretically run on your system. But I don’t know why it doesn’t run on your PC. I will let you know as soon as I have a solution or an idea that could help you.

Tiny Pixel Wars comments · Replied to Yordan in Tiny Pixel Wars comments

There could be different reasons for this kind of problem.

First of all: did you unzip the game? (It will not run from within the zip archive.)

Do you use a 32 or a 64-bit system? This game is a 64-bit application and will not run on a 32-bit system.

If this is not the case then the reason could be a missing library. Maybe it is a graphics issue (despite the fact that this is a pixel art game, it makes use of some more advanced graphics functionality).
If you are a more experienced user you could try to start the game from command line:

press Win + R
type "cmd.exe" and hit enter to open the command line
navigate to the folder where you unzipped the game (something like "cd C:\path\to\the\game\")
type "TinyPixelWars_Windows.exe" and hit enter to start the game

If the command line spits out some error message then please let me know.

I will also see if I can find something that might cause this problem.

Thank you! Yes there is a lot to improve: lots of small bugs and glitches – and the ai really needs some fixes. At the moment I don't have much time but the game will definitely get some updates and maybe some new features – eventually there will come a campaign, too.

Tiny Pixel Wars comments · Replied to Coconut Mousse in Tiny Pixel Wars comments

Okay, I fixed the bug, and uploaded a version that missed a file. If it didn't work, it is not your fault. I have uploaded It a second time – this time with all needed files – hope it works now ;)

I found a bug with the game Window – the fixed Version is on-line. I hope this solves your resolution problem.

Hey thanks for playing!

Btw, if you want units to attach enemies on their way, send them with the »attack« command (press [A] or click the crosshair button in the bottom left corner before sending them). Saves you a lot of time and trouble ;)

The bullets should be a lot faster in my opinion. This would make hitting enemies much less random.

The minimalist graphics style is super cool ^^
