Command Line Attack

[Made in 4.5 hours for TriJam 165, Theme : One Action at a Time]

There is a creature willing to collect coins for you and you can tell him what to do one action at a time from your command station. Try to survive as long as you can while attacking enemies and collecting coins. How many points can you rack up?

Beat My Score Challenge:

Coins Collected - 14

Enemies Killed - 10

Final Score - 1900

Controls

This is all based in a command prompt on the right-side of the game window. You can use the following commands to complete actions:

face [direction] - Turn to face a given [direction]. Options are up, down, left, and right. (i.e. face up, face down, face left, face right)

move - Move in the direction you are currently facing

heal - Use your health kit to replenish your health.

attack - Attack an enemy in front of you

take_dmg - This is a command where you can hurt yourself (testing purposes)

kill - This will immediately kill your character (testing & exit purposes)

To use a command, type it in and then press ENTER on your keyboard.

Known Issues

The scrollbar on the command prompt is obnoxious but couldn't figure it out. I would've wasted more hours working on fixing it. Most fail safes for command issues are there, but I may have missed one or two.
