Your goal is to find sets and eliminate them from the game.</p> <p>If you cannot find a set on the board, you may deal 3 more cards from the deck, up to a maximum of 20 (at which point it should be mathematically guaranteed that a set is on the board somewhere). The game ends when the deck is empty and there are no more sets remaining. You may also end the game early by holding O.</p> <h2>Scoring</h2> <p>When you make a set, you receive a score based on how many empty squares are on the board - this means you get higher scores for making sets when there are fewer cards out. The minimum score for a set is 3 and the maximum is 20.</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=150358 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=150358 Thu, 17 Jul 2025 13:14:08 UTC Call of the Cleric <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=163518#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico8_callofthecleric-0.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=163518#p"> callofthecleric</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=43674"> hawthorn</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=163518#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> <br /> My entry for the 7-Day Roguelike Challenge 2025, a short, simple traditional roguelike. As the cleric, explore the dungeon, collect holy orbs, find weapons, and fight demons.</p> <p>You have 3 divine powers you can use at any time (if you have the piety):</p> <ul> <li>Enchant: Improve your weapon by 1 level.</li> <li>Heal: Fully restore your HP.</li> <li>Rage: Gain double damage for a short time.</li> </ul> <p>Heal and Rage become more expensive after each use.</p> <p>Weapons have a maximum enchantment level, at which they can't be enchanted any more, but do double damage.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=147733 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=147733 Sun, 09 Mar 2025 23:39:20 UTC
