Hardpointe ver0.2 is playable

The latest version of hardpointe (I’m called it v0.2) is available to play here.

It’s a bit more polished than the first version, with a number of ease-of-play fixes and more varied enemies.

Change log:

  • Screen/font can now be enlarged/shrunk
  • Auto-pickup of items
  • ‘Brogue-style’ exits that you just walk into (this item and last item are meant to reduce over-reliance on the action key)
  • Removed redundant power install menu
  • No monsters in the starting room (whew)
  • Added fleeing enemies (Skirmisher)
  • Added shielded enemies (they will recharge if they escape): Skirmisher, Centurion
  • Added an EMP grenade that conveniently takes out shields
  • Fixed a bug with level changes caused by dropping through chasms (sometimes)
  • Added a final boss (sort of): The Archon. The only enemy in the game with more than 3 ‘health’ (shields + hit points)
  • Made the asteroid 6 levels
  • Monster count & difficulty level scale better with increasing levels
  • Player starts with the Hack power (fairly OP but I have not done much balancing)
Shielded enemies and the EMP Grenande in action

If you’ve played it, leave me a comment here, or on /r/roguelikedev. Enjoy.
