About

YAR is a not-so-traditional roguelike game that takes place in a haunted castle changing and updating randomly. The walls are shifting, rocks are emerging from nowhere and the ancient evil is about to awake... Controls Move: <Arrow keys> or <Num keys> Wait: <Ctrl> or <Num5> Use item: <Letter keys> ( <S> for swallowing steaks, <P> for quaffing potions, etc). Using a bomb or a trap will enable pointer mode: <Arrow keys> or <Num keys> to change the position of a bomb (trap) that you're planting, <B> or <T> to confirm, <Ctrl> to cancel. Only planting bombs or traps counts as an action Restart: <R> Switch weapon: <Tab> Use weapon (specials only): <Space> You can use digits from <1> to <6> to enable / disable equipped items and <0> to enable / disable falling boulders (demo feature) Energy system All actions take energy (that is restored by food items). Having your energy at 0 means consuming health. Energy (as well as current health and attack) also defines the amount of damage you deal to enemies. Item types Collectables - used only once, stored in inventory Weapons - only one of a type can be equipped at a time, have an ability that automatically activates every N attacks (N is a constant for each weapon) Specials - like weapons, but an ability can be activated at any time by pressing <Space> Equipables - have permanent effects, not stored in inventory (displayed near weapon icon) Collectables Bombs & Traps - those things probably kill Steak / Mutton leg - restores energy once eaten Coins - do I need to explain what are they used for?..
