Wanna know moar?

I started this LD early in the morning, half an hour after the beginning. The idea came to me in about an hour while surfing the web and wikipedia.

Idea: Make a dungeon game, where the players can see where others failed. The corpses should be permanent!

The gameplay around that idea was made according to the theme: A scientist robot (I can’t draw people) has to escape from his underground laboratory.

He is attacked by mutant self replicating bugs. But he has a laser to fight back!

Thats the idea so far.

This is my Devlog:
