User Guide:
Name: One Drunken Knight
Controls:
- WASD = movement
- Hold Q = Punch
- Hold E = Kick
- Direction of mouse = attack direction
Gameplay: You, a mighty knight, are drinking peacefully in a tavern one night, when forces of evil, under the clever guise of bar staff, try take you away from your drinks, fight them off!
You will start the game with 2 main screens, the Title screen and High Score screen. The title screen will simply let you access the high score screen or start the game, and the high score screen displays the current high scores of the players who have played the game previously.
Once entering the game, you will find yourself in the tavern map, the first of 6 floors. On each floor you will find different types of enemies, such as these guys below
These evil doers will chase you around the map, trying to thwart you in your pursuit of inebriation, don't let them get too close, or they'll hurt you!
Instead, use your punches and kicks to fend them off! And if you get low on health, there are beers, wines and spirits found in each map which restore 1, 5 and 10 points of health respectively, all you have to do is run into them! (literally!)
After 90 seconds, you will see a curious arrow appear in the bottom right corner of your screen
Follow this arrow to find the stairs to the next floor! Which spawns in random locations each game
You should note upon reaching the pub manager room below floor 6, the arrow will start pointing you in the direction of the upward facing stairs, leading you to the upper floors of the pub again and to escape! Your prize, peacefully drinking your night away at the pub across the road. But beware, this grand prize isn't for the faint of heart, and many enemies, challenging map layouts, and environmental hazards stand between you and freedom!
If you are bested before escaping, and your high score succeeds the current high score, you will be given the option to bequeath your name to be remembered forever (or until you close this web page)
This name will appear on the high score menu screen, for all to admire. If you don't beat the current high score and are defeated, a similar screen will appear for you, however you wont be able to input your name, and will be given the option to try again, or return to the title screen.
And that's it! I hope you enjoy the game, and have fun :)

once again love the concept, and it has been implemented well, and love that a cutscene really illustrates it at the start. The chairs falling over as you walk around may be the best part of this, it just makes things look so hilarious
Overall a very amusing concept, and looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Some aspects of the game treatment strayed towards explaining more of the story and less of the gameplay, so I still don't have 100% a clear idea of how specific aspects will work. As a result I don't have a huge amount of comment about the feasibility of the project, but I would just caution against straying too closely towards the style of vampire survivors given that a large amount of success in that game is the sheer number of enemies etc, which is difficult to do well without considerable work on performance/framerate etc.
