W.I.P. In the Cave - COMPETITION 5
Story
One day, while at home, dozens of screams rose from the city. One of these screams were from your house. From witness accounts, large, green men came from nowhere and were breaking into houses abducting people. Numerous others murdered for fun or while protecting others. Your girlfriend was sleeping over at your house. You suddenly hear a crash coming from another room. You investigate and find a window broken. Suddenly another crash and a scream comes from your bedroom. You dash back to find the window broken and your girlfriend missing. You dash off to find her, coming upon a cave with skeletons littering the entrance. This might be where she is. At least, you hope it is.

Small shroom - The product of male and female spores touching. Will grow to either a tendril mush or a purple mush on it's 100th turn of life.
Goblin - Attacks back and wanders.
Goblin Child - Wanders and runs. They may be very hard to kill if you're wearing heavy armor.
Goblin Warrior - Attacks back and wanders. They have better armor and better weapons so watch out!
Bluecaps - Wanders. You can't attack them and they won't respond to you.
Imps - Wanders and attacks. Smaller than most creatures and VERY annoying.

Known Bugs
- Goblins won't attack on their own
- If goblins can't move up next to you, they will start circling you.
- Attacking something while another monster is near you will cause both to take damage.
- If you leave the game standing for long enough, it will start slowing down you computer. :\
- Patricia will run away on occasion, even though she's supposed to either follow you or stand still.
Fun Facts
- The closest head on the pike in the third panel, first image on the intro was actually drawn completely. I decided it was too gory and then made it into a silhouette.
- The kitchen in the third image of the intro was based off the kitchen in my house.
- The second image in the intro was made first, the last image was second.
- The purple mushroom is based off of plump helmets.
