Spuds of Gold

Approx play time: 30mins+.

A simple Dungeon Crawler with graphics inspired by the first generation of 8bit machines, Spuds of Gold supplements the first person view with mini-map and text adventure elements.

"The evil creatures of the world have stolen the golden potato plants whose roots and leaves bind the Earth to the Sky. Quest through the separate realms of Sky and Earth to find 99 golden potatoes, and bring the world back into unity! Beware the fierce creatures that guard these auric tubers. Use magic to assist you when needed, but use it wisely. Seek out the six staircases that remain the only link the between the realms."

Submitted for Dungeon Crawler Jam 2023, the theme of "duality" is expressed by the divison of the world into two realms (effectively two levels within the game).

In keeping with the style of very early text/adventure games, Spuds of Gold has no audio.
