Greedy Rogue
A classic Roguelike where you play as a rogue looting treasure from a dragon's lair under a volcano. You've picked a time when the Dragon is out terrorizing the local village. Unfortunately, you didn't anticipate Dragonlings. But you're greedy and anxious, and continue anyway.
Made in 7 days for the 2022 7DRL jam.
Goal
Collect as much treasure as you can, and make it out alive.
Controls
- WASD or Arrows move a direction
- Space or Period wait in place
- Mouse hover to describe lit objects
- 1-5 Use an artifact
Gameplay
- Manage health and anxiety in a dynamic environment
- Reduce anxiety by picking up gold
- Move into things to interact
- Wait to have enemies come to you, but this increases your anxiety
- Avoid hazards such as fire, lava, pitfalls, chasms, and more
- Experiment with using artifacts on different objects, each does something differently, and some have a passive effect
- Make it through 3 chambers before reaching the exit
Challenges
- Escape with 100% of the gold collected
- Escape with 0% of the gold collected (I believe this is possible)
- Escape without artifacts
Good luck! Here be dragon(ling)s. Hopefully nothing else...
There will be bugs.

very good
An absolute blast. So much fun and anxiety!
I was looking forward to your entry and I was not disappointed.
Fantastic in every way.
I have to specifically mention that I love the way the visibility works, and the artifact variety.
This is a tough game but the colors and tileset just make me want to stay in this world and keep trying.
This is great! Beautiful and fun.
…edit:
Came back to this one. Probably my favorite so far. Really well done here.
So beautiful! Very good work on map generation. I first though I HAD to find all gold. But no. It is actually hard to just reach the exit ^^. I’m not quite sure how to cross that lava river. I need to bring those red things one by one?
Making any game in a week is impressive, but this is even better.
I was sold on this game the first time I slipped on some mud. Juking a Dragonling by going around a lava pool then realizing my folly was another highlight. No wonder my Rogue has anxiety!
very good
