Background

This is my passion project remake of Cloudy Mountains from the Intellivision 1982.

Years ago on holidays at my uncles home I would play Cloudy Mountains on his Intellivision. It was a favorite of mine and I wanted to try recreate a game as close to that experience as I could remember.

This is that game. It’s as close a spiritual remake as I can make from recollection, watching a bunch of videos and reading up as much as I could about the original.

All the art has been redrawn by myself some small improvements and there seams to be a strange stretching in the sprites I could not quit recreate.

There are some game-play changes I chose specifically to make. Firstly you can not move diagonally on the overland map. The map generation works off 4 directions and I limited the movement to better match that. Also I have added additional room types to allow the generation of maps to be more fluid.

Mobs movements are not identical to the original and they do collide with the play note move through.

Game Play

You have to move a party of 3 from the cabin on the left to the Dragon mountains on the where you need to collect the two parts of the crown of kings to win.

As you move the party over the world map Black mountains will change color when you get close to reveal the kind of cave they are. You can move over theses to enter them.

Mountains

Once you have completed a mountain cave you can pass through it freely. If you complete 5 more caves then monster will return to the 6th last one repopulating it and you will need to conquer it again to move past it.

Brown	These do not have caves and can not be passed through
Black	When you move close these will change color to reveal the kind of cave they have.
Gray	This cave wont have any tools but may contain some additional arrows.
Red	You will be able to find an axe in here that will allow you to move across forests.
Blue	You will be able to find a boat in here that will allow you to move across rivers.
Purple	You will be able to find a key in here that will allow you to move through the walls on the map.
Big	The large mountain on the right is where the crown of kings is. It color will differ depending on the difficulty you picked.

Once you enter the map you can only leave by finding the ladder and interacting with it. You move the character through the cave and can shoot arrows to kill mobs. Some take more arrows to kill and some are immune to arrows and have to be avoided. Be careful your arrows are limited. You will see clues to what monsters are in the level and you can also hear them when you are nearby.

Arrows bounce off walls and you can shoot around corners but be careful you can also shoot yourself.

You can collect more arrows in the caves by collecting a quiver as you move over it. Depending on the difficulty of the game quivers will have different amounts of arrows. You can count your arrows by pressing the count key it will then beep for each arrow.

Monsters

Monster only appear in caves. Each has different sounds and behaviors you can learn. The table below gives a rough guide to what you can expect.

Bats	These will fly around you making a noise, when a bat is making noise you will not hear other monsters.
Spiders	Spiders don’t damage you but they will steal your arrows.
Blobs	These are indestructible but fortunately they move slowly.
Snakes	Snakes will chase you and bite you.
Demons	These muttering monsters will chase you and will kill you.
Wingless Dragons	Not as dangerous as the winged sort but still frightfully vicious.
Dragons	These will always be hording the crown pieces. Hard to kill, fast and very dangerous.
