“In a town under siege by evil Slimes and Drakes, can you find the healer in time (and with enough gold in your pocket) to survive?”

I stumbled across MakeCode Arcade a couple weeks ago, and was immediately compelled to code a (very limited) DQ clone. This may be one of the most awkwardly coded games ever, partly because MakeCode doesn’t seem to be overly aimed at menu-oriented games, but also because my coding talents are - shall wee say - limited. Still - it’s fun for a quick spell 🙂 Enjoy!

WOW THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!! The menu is 💯 and the graphics are 🔥

Yea menus are tough in Arcade, but @ richard (don’t want to ping) wrote a extension to handle menus!

**SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION**  
I have a GitHub repo showcasing tons of different extensions for use in Arcade:
