New Year's Armor (A little game)

I do not speak English, the text is translated through an interpreter.

good time, people, I created a small game (for about 10-15 minutes) and would like to show it to the public, it was created based on the ideas of the last game jam (namely 2018, holidays) as a training for me in creating games, and I will not stop on it, then the games will go on the order of game jams (the next year will be 2019, in a robot place), so I gradually hope to gain experience in creating games and be able to show myself worthy at a future game jam.

according to the plot, you were given armor for the new year, leaving it under the tree, but after putting it on, you realize that it turned out to be cursed, you couldn’t take it off and it seemed that your vitality was leaving, but one desperate thought came to your mind, to penetrate the food warehouse and destroy it with your growing body.

Warning: character management is specific, it’s worth getting used to the management a little bit.

controls: the arrows are the movement of the character, there is a speaker in the upper left corner, by pressing the left button you turn off the music, by pressing the right one turns it back on, by pressing ESC or the cross of the program you turn it off immediately.

to start playing: download the archive and unzip the program inside.

Update: Fixed a bug that made it impossible to play the game.

if after downloading the top version the problem remains, then there is a fixed version for this, where the names inside the object do not contain any Russian text (except in the form of a picture), this will help me understand whether it is possible to name objects in Russian inside the project or whether it is possible to get by with simply renaming the finished version.

I will also say that the controls feel a bit weird, and the hit detection is off, it’s incredibly hard to go through doorways. Like, if you hit more than one arrow key, your character just completely stops. Third screen is near impossible because of this.

Должен сказать по поводу управления - оно правда неудобное. Больше всего сбивают с только проёмы. С одной стороны, это логично, учитывая “объём” персонажа. Но если серьёзно, то ни в одной игре это не было для меня большей проблемой чем здесь. Это не сильно мешает, просто сама проблема очень странная. Если это такой способ усложнить игру, то метод так себе.

the correction, as I wrote above, is special, this is basically the problem of the constructor on which I made the game (Game Maker 8.0), if there were exact collisions (that is, the hid box is completely superimposed on the sprite), it would be much more difficult to pass

это было не специально сделано, я сделал хид бокс даже немного меньше, если бы он был точным, как на спрайте это было бы намного больнее и сложнее, но я не хотел намного уменьшать хид бокс

А почему бы не увеличить проёмы? Или всю карту? В конце концов декорации можно и внутри дома нарисовать.

мне показалось что всегда ставить широкие проёмы странно, а карта должна увеличиваться по необходимости, постепенно, в любом случае я ещё не опытный разработчик

For those who cannot open it, you need to run it by using a locale emulator and running it with Russian locale or switch your computer to Russian locale.

so there are such problems? Okay, I’ll take a note, thanks for telling me.

I have posted two versions, the top one is just a renaming of the finished product name, and the fixed version no longer contains Russian names of objects, I need to understand how deep the problem is and I would be grateful if you check both versions.

I tried the fix you put out and I can play it without the locale to the end, I think it functions correctly now.

good day, with some events, I decided that it is worth looking for other ways to store and transfer my creations (of course, there may come a time when the storages simply will not be able to accommodate a single byte more, but at least it is something), so in addition to the itch page I have a couple of storages, for now they will accommodate Mouse dungeon of emptiness and New Year’s Armor, but with the new game jam another game will be added to my piggy bank … which is obliged to become better than the previous ones.

I would be interested in whether the forum residents interact normally with Yandex disk, if there are problems … I will think about what else I can do? thanks for the feedback.
