Catacomb [Bad Colours]

Getting Started

You start in a small brick room with a wall of stone ahead. Move with the arrow keys and press S to fire your magic bolts at the floating skulls and other enemies that appear. The goal is to find keys to unlock doors, collect treasures, and reach the exit to the next level. The maze is viewed from a top-down perspective, and you can strafe by moving sideways while facing a direction.

Combat is simple but quick - enemies move toward you along set paths, and your shots travel in a straight line. The game expects you to learn enemy patterns and use the environment to avoid being cornered. Watch your health indicator (a row of hearts) and grab potions when you find them. If you die, you restart the level with full health.

Because this is an unofficial version with altered colors, some visual cues (like key colors or door types) may be harder to read. Focus on the shapes and layout. The game's core loop of explore, shoot, collect, and advance is unchanged from the original 1989 release.
