teralite
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
fight your way through a variety of worlds ranging from castles to space colonies, with everything my dumb monkey brain could conjure up.
why would you want to play this?
- variety in spades: each level is entirely self contained in order to put you in a interesting scenario with a unique combination of items and hazards. you might be defenseless running from persuers one level and setting fire to a line of turrets the next.
- because it's cool: there's everything from medieval weaponry to magic to rocket launchers to a portal gun. different themes are contrasted against each other, and often multiple are present in a single level.
- tough, but not punishing: you are going to die, a lot. but you will only lose a few seconds or minutes of progress each time, it's very quick to take another crack at what got you killed.
- flexible progression: the game has little regard for doing levels "in order," so there's almost always a huge amount of other levels available to you if you get stuck.
i consider this to be the first 'real' game that i've made, development took around 22 months which is exceptionally long by my standards. admittedly, the game is a bit simple and still has a lot of problems..
but i hope you'll like it.

Install instructions
just download and extract the .zip file, then run the .exe file inside.
you'll get a warning like "windows protected your pc" when you first try to run it. click more info, then run anyway. (this happens for any application that isn't signed, so like every game on this website)
you must keep the .exe and the .pck file together in the same folder or the game won't work. if you wanna access it from somewhere else, just create a shortcut of the .exe
updates aren't automatic (unless you use the itch app), so you'll just have to redownload the game for every patch (your saves will carry over).

Mac app can not play
sorry. i don't have a mac, so i have no idea how to fix it
good work! loved that you opensourced it, great for learning purpose! I tried to run it with 3.4.4 but got some errors, anyway i'll take a sneak peak of the code!
It's great actually. It does need a bit of balancing, more thoughtful level design and performance fix. But overall it's a cute lil project
really cool
