KORZ-RL is a coffeebreak roguelike

Description

KORZ-RL is heavily inspired by Apogee Software Production's KROZ fast-paced arcade ASCII games of the late '80s and early '90s. Because it was created for the 7DRL 2015 competition, a turn-based Roguelike-ish mode was added. The player can switch from the action-mode to the Roguelike-ish mode and vice-versa by the press of a button. Two simple spells can be cast, but only in the Roguelike-ish mode.

Since the game is written in Java 7, it will run on all major platforms, but only when a modern JRE (Java runtime) has been installed. A graphical desktop is required, since the game uses emulated ASCII graphics. The default keybinding requires the numpad keys, but since not all keyboards have them these days, an option was added to redefine the keys.

You are in a single-screen dungeon with dumb enemies that follow you on every move and die when they hit a breakable wall. You can kill enemies and/or break walls by using your whip. Gems are your live energy. On each dungeon there are whips laying around as well. The enemies also take each gem and whip that they encounter. Your goal is to reach the door that will lead to the next level.

This game was made for the 7DRL_Challenge_2015.
