CrankRL

♡ If your heart gets too slow, you die! ♡

CrankRL is a loose adaptation of the concept of the Crank movie as a roguelike. Explore randomly generated dungeons, find weapons and items, kill enemies, but above all, balance your heart rate!

Tip: hover the attributes and BPM with your mouse

You were once the lieutenant of the powerful Bak Mei, a Shaolin monk. Because he feared you, he attacked you with his secret Six Point Palm Accelerating Heart Technique. Now, your heart beats for one purpose: revenge.

You will have to cross three ordeals:

• the hospital, with its doctors and security guards
• the warehouse, with its thugs and assassins
• a very slow elevator

Should you complete all these trials, you will face your nemesis!

It’s a classical turn-based roguelike, so take your time to plan your actions. It is also unbalanced, but you should have fun! (hopefully)

Controls (keyboard and mouse only):

• arrows to move or attack with melee weapon
• . (period) to wait
  
• g to grab
• f to fire with a ranged weapon
• tab to change target
• space to use item
• s to use the stairs
• hover with your mouse to describe what you see!

The game was made entirely during 7DRL, except some basic library. No AI, only low-effort pixel art and impossible-to-debug Lua.

(Binary exports will be added on March 15th following Picotron’s update)
