CONCEPT
A515 : Cryptic Asphalt is a gameboy adventure made for The Road Trip Game Jam 2025, inspired by Citizen Sleeper, Racing Lagoon, and falling asleep on the backseat of a car.
HOW TO PLAY
Commands are :
ARROWS to move cursor/select
Z is A/confirm
X is B/cancel
ENTER is Start
- The gameplay is inspired by TTRPGs cause I'm into TTRPGs at the moment.
- Your character is defined by 3 stats, rolled at the start of your run.
- Dangerous actions are resolved by D4 rolls, added to a chosen stat.
- 5 to 7 rolls are a success. Below, your action fails.
- Failure results in a disaster looming closer. Said disaster is linked to the stat chosen for your action.
- If you're strong in a given stat, you're more at risk of ending in this stat "disaster."
ABOUT
So I made this game short adventure for The Road Trip Game Jam. I wanted to do more events, a longer game, and have an adventure that's a little more difficult, with more fuel management and more risky actions, but I didn't have time, so I settled for something shorter but as polished as I could.
There must be bugs and glitches but I think nothing gamebreaking and you can play from start to finish. There are 6 endings, 4 of them can be seen as "game over"s.
Hope you'll enjoy the ride.
