Way Home

Enemies appear in waves. You will recover a tiny bit after each enemy and a bit more after every wave. Each enemy varies in it's strength and it's weakness against spells. Try to find the best strategy for each one!

Controls
A, D: Select enemy
J, K, L: Cast spells

Notes
Way Home is written in C using my custom NRender multi-platform game/multimedia middleware.

NRender has been made over the course of the last few years to target fixed-function, fixed-point 32 bit machines - such as old PCs or the PlayStation 1 (try that version!). It is still very much work in progress. This game is it's first public test drive.

Many art assets have been taken from other great people (see credits below). Nevertheless, it was fun trying out some low-tech animation techniques and make them work across a modern target like web browsers as well as old school ones like the PlayStation.
