A downloadable game for Windows

____________________________GRIM DEPTHS

Battle your way through a dungeon, then unlock new gear (Like the "Satanic Blade," a giant sword that burns enemies or a staff that launches lasers to kill a whole line of slimes at once) or upgrade the gear you already have (Upgrading a heat-seeking missile launcher will increase the accuracy of its missiles and number of missiles, so you can go from a slightly functioning gun that launches 2 missiles to a deadly beast of a gun that launches 6 simultaneous missiles, each more than intent on smashing itself into any slimy surface it can possibly see) by spending your life at a demonic altar which also re-colors the entire game, and then enter the next dungeon, with stronger, faster, and deadlier enemies, battling your way from the first demonic red dungeon to an acid-green dungeon all the way to the final glowing white dungeons.

CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT TO DO?

START | You spawn in a room with a single altar and a closed gate. The altar will have a red arrow above it to point it out. 

ALTARS | Using WASD or arrow keys, walk into the altar. A  shop will open, and you will be given 3 items to choose from. Hovering over an item will tell you more about it and the health it will consume by buying it is indicated to the right of the item. The health it costs is also displayed by making the health you would lose if you bought it transparent below (your health is displayed at the bottom of the screen always). Buying a new item will unlock it and buying an item you already have will upgrade it, this is shown in the info when you hover over it. Usually, you can't buy anything at this first altar because you don't have enough health, but on future altars you can left-click an item to buy it.  You can only buy it if you will have at least 1 health after buying it. and a gate will open to your right. If you can't buy anything, click the button on the right that says "skip" and you will lose 1 health but you won't have to buy anything.

NEW ROOMS | After you finish with the altar, a gate to the next room will open to your right. Walk through it into the first dungeon, and, using left click to activate your sword, kill all of the slimes in sight. If a slime jumps onto you, you will lose health. Killing a slime will make you gain health.

EXITING THE ROOM | Once they are all killed you will hear a gate open, and a red arrow will appear on the right of the screen indicating for you to find the gate to the right. It will be on the very far right somewhere. Walk through it, where you will find yourself in a hall with an altar in its center. 

ALTAR HALLS | Move along the path to the right until you find the altar and walk into it, opening a new shop. Buy anything you want, this is just like the first altar. Closing it will open a gate to your right and you can move into the next dungeon. The game continues on like this. Try to see if you can make it to the white dungeons!


ON SOME MACHINES, THE GAME DOESN'T WORK BY DIRECTLY LAUNCHING IT WITH A DOUBLE-CLICK. UNSURE WHY, BUT LAUNCHING IT DIRECTLY FROM COMMAND PROMPT (ON WINDOWS) DOES WORK. OPEN COMMAND PROMPT, TYPE IN "cd <directory of folder that game is in, get this by right clicking on the game file, clicking properties at the bottom and copying its location> " THEN TYPE "java -jar game.jar" AND THE GAME SHOULD OPEN.
