Report RSS Swipey Rogue (mobile arcade/rogue): Devlog 13 - Frozen Area Preview

Swipey Rogue is a mobile, arcade interpretation of a swipe-action, auto-runner mixed with a top-down, dungeon-crawler. It features an Adventure mode with a progression of pre-designed rooms, and a Gauntlet mode with randomized mazes of rooms. The mythical underground mines of Swipey Rogue are divided into 4 themed areas: Molten, Frozen, Gadget, and Magic. This week, I'm introducing the Frozen area and previewing the unique gameplay it contains.

Devlog 13 - Frozen Area Preview:


The Mythical, Underground Mines of Swipey Rogue are divided into 4 themed areas, each with their own unique gameplay elements. The Molten Area has been demonstrated so now it's time to show the Frozen Area!


Frozen Area Gameplay Mechanics:



These are the gameplay mechanics that are found in the Frozen Area:

  • cold damage (-1 HP / second)
  • falling icicles (get hit & die)
  • ice ball turrets (get hit & die)
  • slick ice (can't change direction once you walk on it)
  • freezing water (fall in & die)
  • cracked ice (cross once, then it breaks and becomes freezing water)


Frozen Area Screenshots:



Below are a selection of screenshots from some of the rooms in the Frozen Area.

Falling Icicles & Slick Ice:
