Gemfall Demo

This is a prototype action RPG in the vein of classic-era Zelda games. It's meant to be a very minimal "vertical slice" of gameplay -- a little bit of everything, but none of it is very deep. All told it's maybe 10-20 minutes of gameplay.

Since there's no in-game tutorial, these are the controls:

• Arrow Keys: Move
• Z: Attack
• X: Roll / Use / Talk
• A: Use Bomb
• Enter: Open inventory (pause)
• Escape: Pause
• R: Restart the game
• SHIFT: Switch control schemes
• CTRL: Display current control scheme, at the bottom left corner

As of v1.0.1, I've also added an alternate control scheme:

• WASD: Move
• RIGHT: Roll / Use / Talk
• DOWN: Attack
• LEFT: Use Bomb

This was my first project with GameMaker. I couldn't have done it without help from these folks:

• Shaun Spalding, for his action RPG tutorials that got me started
• CanariGames and their excellent CanariPack assets
• Lanea Zimmerman's Tiny 16 Basic tiles (for the NPCs)
