Here it lies... one of the entrances to the Great Catacombs.
People say that Catacombs are the Door to the world of Gods.
Others, that it's trial of Gods, so they can find a man worthy of their power.
And others...
...others say that it is just a large dungeon filled with gold and gems!Welcome to the Kave Rayder!In this game, you're a simple adventurer!
Your main tasks are:
A) Get as much trinkets and gold as possible.
B) Find and steal the Diamond of Gods.
C) Actually survive looting the Catacombs!
But it won't be so easy...
To make place in your backpack, you put away most of your equipment except a small medpack.
You keep your iron whip at your belt though! And a hat! What's an adventurer without a hat with a lit candle on top of it?
The whip deals mere 1 damage, but, with certain high stat...
An Adventurer has 4 lifes, and said medpack can heal up to 2 lifes.
Why you need them lifes, you ask.Oh, it's simple! The Great Catacombs are filled with deadly traps and vicious monsters.
And of course you can meet other adventurers! That might go wrong on many levels, given it's the forumites~
Pits with sharp spikes that you have to jump across, wild vipers and walking corpses of previous adventurers...
Trapped chests, boulders rolling after you...
And some people are whispering the tales about dreaded Giant Cave Spider...
Stats!There are four stats in Kave Rayder: Strength, Acrobatics, Intelligence, and Luck.
I'm not going to tell what they do so you have to guess :3
Each of them stats can have value of 1, 2 and 3.
Every Adventurer starts with 1 in every stat and can raise 2 stats by one point.
There are rumors about fountains or altars or something that's supposed to raise your stats, though...
Retreat!There's no shame in saying 'that's enough' and running away.
In this case, you need to reach any of four entrances, not necessarily the one through which you entered.
The amount of 'Gold' you earn is written down to high-score table at the moment in which you leave the Catacombs.
But if you die at any moment of looting, amount of Gold you managed to get is halved in terms of points!
Oh, and The Diamond of Gods counts only if you make it alive!
Treasures and their points value:Few old coins: +5 gold
Small gem: +10 gold
Copper jewellery: +15 gold
Copper idol: +25 gold
Silver jewellery: +40 gold
Medium gem: +60 gold
Pile of old coins: +80 gold
