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
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.
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.
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.
A 3-eyed neogoblin that slinks around in the dark. It turns invisible as it charges and then spews projectiles from its mouth while glowing. When under 947 HP, it shoots fire rather than energy orbs.
Red Cran's spirit given form. Between floating around, he will charge an attack, either a plethora of fireballs, summoning minions (phases 1 and 2) or turning invisible and shooting fire (phase 3).
