Random Thoughts - Rex the Red
Rex the Red Anniversary
Basics
The game is divided into 3 similiar sections; each has 3 rooms to get through from West to East containing 4, 8 and 12 Green Slimes followed by a room containing a teleporter which leads to a "boss fight" against Fishlips and 8 Green Slimes. Between the first two Fishlips and the following set of Green Slime rooms is a "Chest" room containing, as the name would suggest, chests (4 in total). Once the third and final Fishlips (and his Sliems) are defeated the game is completed.
In addition to these 17 rooms there are also secret rooms that contain bonuses and (in all but one case) extra tough guards.
To help our hero out there are, as has been mentioned, chests containing bonuses of one sort or another.
Birds give a level up and, as the experience rewards for killing enemies decrease with an increase in your level these are worth more at higher levels.
Spells, all of which are Heal spells, allow you to use that blue magic bar of yours to heal damage, the amount depends on the level of the spell, the number of Heal Scrolls you have and your knowledge - the equation is (Spell Level * No. of Scrolls) + Knowledge.
Swords come with a Strength value, this plus your own Strength give you your attack damage, one Sword also does "Ice Damage", which freezes enemies in place so that they can't move or attack (The "Ice Spiders" also have this ability).
Armour (or Armor for you Americans) adds its value to your Life Blood total (which is 20 per point of Toughness)
