Knight Errant (Post-Jam version)

Knight Errant is a game that I made for the Trijam #304 ! The theme of the jam was "One button adventure". The game was made using Pico-8.

This is the "post-jam" version, I reworked the game to fix some issues. I also changed some sprites.

The game:

Choose the path you want to take! You have 5 seconds to choose between 3 paths: fight, explore or shop. Gear up and try to reach the highest level possible!

Choose your path:

• Fight: Fight some monsters, but be careful, they get stronger as the game goes on! If you manage to win, you will level up and get some gold. 
• Shop: Buy powerful items that will increase your strength and defense stats, but you will need some gold to buy them. 
• Search: Explore your surroundings, in the forest you can find some healing herbs, in the mountains you can find some gold.  Sometimes you can also find powerful items. 

Controls:

• Keyboard controls :

• [Z] or [N] : Choose the path that you wish to follow

Gamepad controls (E.g. X-Box):

• [A] or [Y] : Choose the path that you wish to follow

About me:

Hi, I'm Zellkoss. I'm new to game jams, having got into them last year. 

I took a short break from coding, but I'm back for this Tri-jam. 

It was quite a challenge! I got stuck a few times with coding issues, which made me lose a precious minutes!

I had a lot of problems with game balancing (and I still do), and other issues with this submission but I took this jam more as a coding/creative and planning exercise and learning experience, and from this point it was really good.

Please any comments and recomendations are welcome!
