Rodney's Tunnel

The game's logo as seen on the title screen.

Rodney's Tunnel is a total conversion mod of Rovgend's Labyrinth, a game developed by Cflip. It was created by Kjolt for a month-long modding competition from the start of May 2024 to June 1st, 2024. It was made publicly available on the Cflip Forum, but has since been inaccessible after its shutdown. There is an official no commentary video gameplay series on Kjolt's Youtube channel.

Rather than being based on medieval fantasy, the game is based on the creations of Kjolt and various inside jokes. Parts of the game are incomplete due to the challenge's time restraints and lack of motivation.

Gameplay

The player in Ricky Hills.

Rodney's Tunnel plays identically to the base game of Rovgend's Labyrinth; it is a hybrid of the FPS and Roguelike genres. You take control of a player whom is able to move in all horizontal directions, look left and right, and use items on their belt. The objective is to collect items and weapons from containers to conquer a procedurally-generated maze filled with monsters, using ladders to descend further until the end. The compass in the top-right corner's red arrow will always point toward the next ladder down or the boss.

Story

It takes place underneath an alternate version of Ricky Hills, the primary setting of the Ricky War series. In the ending of Kevin War in which Kevin is killed by the Hitman, he is banished to a sort of psychic purgatory formed from the memories of the Hill People and himself. It is held together by Rodney, the spirit of Red Cran manifested as a raging, burning skull. Kevin must conquer the labyrinthine tunnel's many trials in order to defeat Rodney and return to Earth.

Although it is canonical to Kevin War, it is unknown to which extent many of the items, creatures or locations are real due to the nature of the world.

Floors and areas

The tunnel is comprised of 20 floors divided into 6 main areas (excluding the ending) - Ricky Hills, Old Sewers, Overgrowth Depths, Underground Bathroom, Signature Walls, and the Red Realm. Each boss has an entire floor dedicated to their fight which closes off their respective portion of the tunnel. The player must find a ladder on each floor to proceed. Those on boss floors are unavailable until the boss is slain.
