You Bet Your Life 2024 7DRL

Welcome to "You Bet Your Life", the gameshow where you battle waves of monsters to win cash. The further you go, the more you earn, unless you die trying. 

** Note: If playing in browser, the Full Screen option works best. There is a Windows download available below too.

 

This game was created in 7 days for the 7 Day Roguelike Challenge. This is my 10th year participating and the 20th anniversary of the event. 

My inspiration this year was an arcade game called Smash TV. My idea was to make something that felt like a turn based bullet hell game. I switched to the Godot Engine from Unity. I just started to learn Godot in January and wanted to experiment. 

I tried to make the controls accessible by including mouse options. That seems to work best for targeting specific enemies too. The VI keys are supported if you are familiar with them. 

I used art from Oryx Labs which I purchased rights to use many years ago. I used sounds from Kenney.nl and the LCDBlock font from the Nb Pixel Font Bundle.
