About

This is a prototype -- it's technically finished and winnable -- and it even has an Easter Egg (can you find it?) -- that being said it falls short of what I was aiming for and it still pretty rough around the edges.

Goal:
To win in Adventurous, you have to find the magical chalice and bring it back to the Yellow Castle. 

Beware:
There is a dragon somewhere in the world, and in order to succeed, you will have to face it. -- You might be able to sneak by it -- or you might climb up it's scaly back and stab down on it's head with your enchanted sword. -- Just don't get hit by his fire balls or you'll go flying (you might even get knocked out of the level).

Controls:

  • Thumb sticks for turning and moving
  • Grips for climbing (ladders and the red grip stones)
  • Triggers for picking up or putting down objects

Inspiration:
The theme for this gamejam was "Loop" and I thought I would loop you back to 1980 in your VR headset to play my adaptation of the video game "Adventure", which was originally for the Atari VCS / 2600, and was written by Warren Robinett (GamePro ranked it as the 28th most important video game of all time in 2007, and its own Easter Egg was featured prominently in the book Ready Player One, and in the movie adaptation -- also its Easter Egg was highly controversial at the time).

In addition -- Adventure contains some LOOPing and confusing non-linear mazes -- once you have them memorized they're easy, but your first time in will overwhelm you. -- I tried to adapt those mazes and that feeling to VR (shown in the title shot). -- However, not all the features from Adventure made it (in fact, Adventure is a more complete game than this is and like... has sound and stuff! XD).

List of Features from Adventure that made it or didn't make it:

  • Black and Yellow Castle and their keys (no white castle)
  • The Bridge is now a hole in the wall that you can pick up and move to different walls if they are thin enough, it's basically a portable hole.
  • There is also a ladder that you can move around.
  • There are two maze rooms.
  • A magic sword for Dragon killing.
  • One Dragon (so that you can put your shiny new magic sword to use!)
  • No Dark Caves
  • No Magnet, No Bat

There's probably more but I forget right now.
