[PC][Early 2000s] 2d topdown labyrinth crawler Meritous
Platform(s): PC
Genre: 2d arcade, crawler (for the lack of a better definition)
Estimated year of release: late 90s, early 2000s
Graphics/art style: simplistic, almost monochrome, overall hue is changing depending on the part of the map
Notable Gameplay Mechanics: the only way of attacking enemies for the player is to charge and release a circular blast around their character
Other details:
- It's 2d top-down labyrinth. Possibly, but for that I'm not so sure, procedurally generated.
- DOS or Win95. Not sure whether it was running in a window. I believe it was keyboard-controlled.
- The only attack the player had was to charge and then release a circular blast around their character. The power and radius of the blast depended on how long you've charged.
- Labyrinth contained power-ups for said splash, increasing its damage and radius.
- The graphics was almost monochrome with the hue depending on the current part of the labyrinth the player was located in.
- I'm almost certain it's not one of the Gauntlet series game.
