The goal of Five Floors to Victory is... score as many points as possible. Your final score is calculated by the number of Coins you have + how many Enemies you have recently slain.

How to Play!

  1. Randomize the dungeon by rolling all 16 dice. You can do this by pressing the "N" key for New Game.
  2. Move your character around with the arrow keys.

Calculating The Dice

Coins: collecting a Coin will add the value to your current stash. If you see a "+", it will increase all Coins on the current floor by 1 (max value: 3). If you see a "-", it will decrease all Coins on the current floor by 1 (min value: 1).

Defense: collecting a Defense will change your defense level. If you see a "+", it will increase your Defense by 1 (max value: 5). If you see a "-", it will decrease your Defense by 1 (min value: 1).

Attack: collecting an Attack will change your attack level. If you see a "+", it will inrease your Attack by 1 (max value: 1). If you se a "-", it will decrease your Attack by 1 (min value: 1).

Health: collecting Health will add the value to your current health (max value: 5).

Exits: entering an exit will take you to the next floor. IMPORTANT! The icon in the top-right corner will tell you any penalties you suffer if there are enemies still remaining on the floor. For example: the Coin icon means if there are 2 enemies remaining on the floor, you will lose 2 Coins.

Enemies and Calculating Damage

If your current Attack value is equal to or greater than the Enemy value, you defeat it. Add 1 to your Enemy count.

If you current Attack value is less than the Enemy value, you take damage. The damage you receive is the Enemy Value - Your Defense Value (min value: 1). Add 1 to your Enemy count.

Upgrading

When you have reached 5 Enemies defeated, you will have an opportunity to upgrade your character. Press the corresponding number (1, 2, or 3) to upgrade. This will reset your Enemy count back to 0.

Just had a run that earned 47 points.  The stars aligned pretty well to get there!

Edit: Just got a 50 point run!

When upgrading with Attack=5, Defense=2(?), the attack option was visible but the Defense option was not.

Pressing 3 still let me upgrade defense.

Thanks for the bug report! I got the same thing. I'll look to fix it.

Love it.  After several games, my high score is 37.  Probably play a little too conservatively with the upgrades, but that's the fun of it, I guess!

Edit:  Just got 44 points!

I can certainly say that that is higher than my average. Well done! Thanks for playing!

This is rad, I'm getting 'Chip's Challenge' vibes. Might be showing my age there!

I remember playing that on my Atari Lynx! Thanks for playing!
