LLLOOOT!


Damien Moore and I are pleased to announce the release of LLLOOOT!

Infiltrate ten randomly generated edifices of increasing size and difficulty; steal all of the valuables from under the noses of the patrolling guards; and escape into the night. Will you be speedy, leading guards on a chase through the halls before leaping out a window? Or slow and methodical, knocking them out and hiding their unconscious bodies in bushes or under beds so they won't be spotted?


For the 2023 Seven-Day Roguelike Challenge we made Lurk, Leap, Loot. We had a great time collaborating; the resulting game was fun; and ultimately it was ranked #1 Overall for the year! This was very exciting for us. Damien worked on the game a ton after the 7DRL jam ended, adding new gameplay features like knockouts and pickpocketing, new animation and lighting systems, and support for touch and gamepad controls. Months later I resurfaced and together we have been stuffing the game chock-full of thiefy goodness.

Nearly every aspect of the original game has been put under a microscope and tuned. Here's a non-exhaustive list of new features:

  • Knockouts
  • Pickpocketing
  • Locked doors
  • Treasure vaults
  • Optional treasure
  • Secret switches
  • Manors, mansions, and fortresses
  • Refined, evolved guard senses and behavior
  • Daily seeded challenge game
  • Vast libraries of legal textbooks and fantasy novels
  • Animation
  • Lighting
  • Tile sets
  • Sonic ambience
  • Touch input
  • Gamepad input
  • Achievements
  • Scoring
  • Tutorials
  • Persisted options

We hope it gives you hours of absorbing skulking. Thanks for playing!
