Kobold Delvers

겁없이 달려가는 고블린 동굴 탈출기 (매일 업데이트되지는 않으며, 작성자가 원할 때마다 업데이트됩니다.) [1일차] 위험한 동굴 속에서 고블린들을 안전하게 탈출시키는 게임입니다. 고블린은 동굴에서 등장하며 최대 5마리까지 유지됩니다. 지능이 그리 높지 않은건지 앞만 보고 달리며 벽이나 다른 고블린과 충돌하면 반대편으로 움직이죠. 그러다가 위험을 인지하지 못하고 용암에 닿으면 불타서 죽고 물에 빠져 탈출하지 못하면 익사하여 죽어버리곤 합니다. 요런 동굴 내부에 도사린 각종 위험들을 하단에 주어지는 자원들로 해결하여 고블린이 안전하게 출구로 향하도록 해야하죠. 돌이나 나무을 깔아서 발판을 만들거나 금화를 우르르 쏟아내거나 물을 뿌리거나 등등. 가끔 길을 막는 나무를 일부러 불태워서 제거할 수도 있고 물을 주어 식물을 자라게해서 기어 오르는 용도로 활용할 수도 있습니다. 서로 다른 자원들이 맞닿으면서 발생하는 반응들을 어떻게 활용하느냐에 따라 레벨을 플레이할 방향이 정해지죠. 어쨌든, 주어지는 자원들을 활용해서 고블린을 탈출시키면 됩니다. 레벨을 클리어하면 기본 1개의 별을 얻고, 맵 어딘가에 위치한 깃발 도달, 일정 수치 이하로 자원 소모로 최대 3개의 별을 획득할 수 있죠. 이렇게 획득하여 누적된 별의 수량에 따라서 새로운 레벨이 개방되어 도전할 수 있게 됩니다. 고블린이 탈출하도록 돕는 레벨 외에도 직접 고블린을 조작하는 레벨도 존재합니다. AD로 좌우 이동을 하고 스페이스바로 점프를 할 수 있으며, 이동 중에 얻는 자원 능력을 활용해서 레벨을 클리어해 나가죠. 능력은 1개만 장착하여 활용할 수 있고, 약간의 컨트롤이 필요한 경우가 발생하기도 합니다. 뭐, 그렇게 어렵지는 않기에 1~2번 정도 진행하면 쉽게 클리어할 수 있죠. 외에도 샌드박스 모드에서 자신만의 레벨 제작 가능. [아쉬운 점] -자원에 마우스를 가져갔을때, 설명은 없더라도 이름은 뜨면 좋을듯 -숫자키나 탭키로 배속 조정 가능하면 좋을듯 (스페이스는 직접 조종에서 점프키로 작동하니 힘들더라도) -샌드박스 진입 시, 빈 화면이 아니라 이전에 플레이한 레벨로 진입됨

Great concept, but needs a little more time in the oven. Most levels start with the kobolds dying almost immediately, forcing me to pause at the start of every level. The budget is a little too strict, forcing me to manually place single dots to build paths. There are lots of different materials but the level design doesn't take full advantage of the mechanics. I wish there were more levels and levels that didn't have such trivial yet mechanically frustrating solutions.

I'm a big fan of physics puzzles, and these were pretty solid. It only took an hour to beat all 12 levels, but I couldn't figure out how to get more than two stars on the last two. The mechanics aren't explained, so you need to figure them out on your own. That's part of the charm of games like these, though.

A very fun little lemmings-like. nothing mind blowing, but it has some fun little interactions and physics. The kobolds sometimes get stuck inside things or in falling animations, but overall everything works as it should. Very nice for a student project, and something I would gladly pay a few bucks for with a few tweaks and/or more levels and/or the ability to easily import community levels (and a community actively making them)

Kobold Delvers is a small dungeon-crawling adventure game that focuses on exploration, combat, and collecting loot. You take control of kobold characters as they venture into dangerous areas, fight enemies, discover treasures, and try to survive deeper runs. It is a simple concept, but it has the charm of classic dungeon games. The biggest strength of Kobold Delvers is its atmosphere and theme. Using kobolds as the main characters gives the game a different feel from the usual fantasy adventures where you play as heroes, knights, or powerful warriors. The idea of small creatures exploring dangerous dungeons gives it a fun underdog feeling. The gameplay is easy to understand. You explore areas, battle enemies, collect items, and improve your characters. The progression system gives you a reason to keep playing, as finding better equipment and becoming stronger makes later challenges more manageable. The dungeon-crawling elements are enjoyable, especially for players who like slower games focused on exploration and preparation. Choosing when to fight, when to explore further, and how to manage your resources adds some strategy to the experience. However, the game is held back by its simplicity. The core mechanics work, but they do not always develop enough to stay interesting for long periods. More enemy variety, deeper character options, and more complex dungeon designs would have helped the game feel more complete. The combat can also become repetitive. While fighting enemies is satisfying at first, there are not always enough different situations to keep battles exciting. After a while, the gameplay loop of entering areas, fighting, and collecting loot can start to feel predictable. The presentation is a mixed point. The art style has charm and fits the kobold theme well, but the game does not have the same level of polish as larger dungeon-crawling RPGs. It feels like a small indie project with a good idea rather than a fully expanded adventure. Overall, Kobold Delvers is a charming little dungeon game with a unique theme and enjoyable progression. It has enough fun ideas to keep fans of the genre interested, but the limited depth and repetitive gameplay stop it from becoming a must-play. Rating: 6.5/10
