Nua

A Ludum Dare 51 Entry

Nua is a puzzle-esque time management game, where each tile costs a certain amount of seconds to traverse and each enemy takes a certain amount of seconds to attack. You have 10 seconds worth of Time Points (TP) 

Fight your way through the infestation and defeat the final enemy. 

Different power ups help you get to the end.

Current power ups include:

- Tile speed increase: + 0.5 seconds

- Health increase : + 15 health

- Damage increase : + 5 damage

- Reduce attack time : - 0.25 seconds 


Nua v1.1 Update

Small update to the game as I finally had some time to fix the main issue players were facing when playing which was no indicator as to how much TimePoints would it cost for a tile. Incase there is any confusion, the lowest TimePoints a tile can cost is 0.5.

  • Hold space bar to see how much tiles cost in the level
  • Changed some flavour text


Nua v1.2 Update

Fairly decent update as I've been able to reduce the file download size drastically with a very small change, I'm also pushing this file size change to the previous versions. Mainly so people in the game jam can have a smaller download with the original game that I made within 72 hrs. 

Art & UI

  • Completely reworked the UI to allow for smaller text (The text was really big and was difficult to read in many cases, should hopefully be easier with these changes)
  • Colour-coded the various player stats on the UI
  • Renamed some buffs to make them more coherent and removed most acronyms
  • Updated the Main Menu background
  • Updated the How-To screen, reducing it to one page (The in-game help screen also received these updated visuals)
  • Updated the water tile art (It's possible a lot of you didn't even know this was a water tile :D)

Gameplay

  • Added a new popup floating text when interacting with powerups to signify what you just gained and also when attacking enemies to signify how much health you just lost.

Misc

  • Reduced file download size from 121mbs to 28mbs, this was done by changing audio files from .wav to a .ogg.
