New Project: Spellinx
News posted 12th August, 2010 by OMC
3kliksphilip and Mr_Tom have started our second featured project page today. Spellinx is a cooperative RPG in which you cast spells by remembering button combos, a la Tekken. (Their example. We'll get to that in a moment.) "The gameplay is based purely around spells and does not get bogged down in hundreds of statistics, weapon/armour types like most RPG’s. To perform spells rather than just selecting the spell and pressing fire you have to link button presses to form a chain and then activate the spell. More powerful spells require a longer more complex chain. The skill is being able to remember the right spells to use, the combo of buttons you need, and the ability to perform them quick enough. The ideal way to play this game is cooperatively with 2 or 3 players." Along with some footage of the game being played, these two goofballs have created a hilarious video to introduce you to the game, which can be viewed on the project page. This game was developed for the indiePub Competition, and is playable now! It's been added to the TDC list. If you like it, go vote for it! Go to the Spellinx Project Page Tweet

Looks good, although it sounds like there's the potential to cheat very easily by using keyboard macros (so an entire combo could be mapped to a single key).

I suppose if people want to cheat, that's up to them...

The graphics looks great, the water in particular is really well done.
Not to sure about the concept though, but I'll have to play it before I can judge it.

I can understand why you're worried about the concept. After playing it for a while and knowing all of the spells off by heart, I can safely say that the game becomes far more satisfying to play, the better you get. Got an enemy on top of you? Do you cast a quick but weak repultion spell, or try to hammer in the 8 button combo for a powerful lightning spell?

Heh nice, I worked on a RPG with a similar concept a few years back, it's actually pretty fun to play something like that.
