Like Spelunky, + Bug Busting Roguelike RPG! – Ants Took My Eyeball Launch –
6Ants Took My Eyeball is an Indie, 2D Action Roguelike Sidescroller with Pixel Graphics and Procedural Generation.
It feels a bit like Caveblazers, with guns; fun!
It’s a 2D Platformer with awesome loot, melee weapons, gadgets and guns to find, and packing PermaDeath to keep the intensity flowing.
With up to 4 player local co-op multiplayer too! Awesome!
You find gold and ammo in the random dungeons, feeding both your character’s shopping needs and your guns, letting you build up your character with both the gear you find, and the gear you fancy at the shops.
Meta Progression:
Meta Progression in Ants Took My Eyeball is present in the form of gems found in chests, which are use to unlock appliances in bug buddy’s lair to grant you bonuses: think +15 starting hp, coffee that will drop in lvls for bonuses, a money tree you can find in lvl to get more gold, minor, but impactful stuff like that.
Controller Support is present, and good, as is good old Mouse & Keyboard, in case that is your preference.
I went mostly with the gamepad here, as 2d side-scrollers often feel better with a controller in hand.
Local Co-Op Multiplayer is present as well, just have player 2 hit a button while in the intro bug area before you jump down.
Note: This is the initial launch version of Ants Took My Eyeball and thus any encountered bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Ants Took My Eyeball is offering an intense Action Side-scroller with Perma Death + local coop that looks, feels, and sounds great.
