QuickRogueFB is a speed rogue-like game. There is one level, a bunch of monsters and a set amount of time to find the Amulet of Nikktu and escape. The game play is very streamlined so there is no inventory or stats management and a very small set of commands to make gameplay quick and easy.

Objective

To win the game, you must locate the Amulet of Nikktu, find the exit and escape within the set amount of of real time. Note that monsters can periodically attack even if you are not moving if they are within one space of the player character.

Skill Levels

There are three skill levels for the game:

1) 60 minutes of real time. No bonus to score.
2) 30 minutes of real time. x10 bonus to score.
3) 15 minutes of real time. x100 bonus to score.

Bonus is only added to score if game is completed successfully. An additional bonus of a 1000 points is added if all the monsters are killed.

Basic Stats

1) HP: This is your characters hit points. The first number is the current hp and the second is the max hp.
2) Hit: This is the to-hit stat, that determines how well you can hit with your weapon.
3) Def: This is the defensive rating. The higher the number the better the character can avoid attacks.
4) Max Dam: This is the maximum amount of damage the character can do with the weapon. Damage can range from 1 to Max Damage.
5) Regen: This is the rate at which you regenerate health when not in combat. 
6) Mana: This is the amount of mana the character currently has. Mana is used to zap monsters (use z key) or teleport (use t key).

Advancement

Each time a monster is killed, each stat will increase by 1 point. However, if you kill a monster using a zap, then all your stats except Mana are incremented by 1 point.

Traps

There are traps scattered throughout the level. If you are observant, you will figure out how to detect and avoid them.

Potions

There are various potions scattered throughout the level. All potions are unknown until they are used. Once used, a potion of the same type will be recognized. Some potions increase or decrease stats, while other produce a positive or negative effect for a certain number of turns. 

Use G to get and use a potion.

Amulet of Nikktu

The amulet will boost all stats and restore health once picked up. When you have the Amulet, find the exit and escape. When you have discovered and picked up the Amulet, a small icon will appear next to your player characters name.
