FloppyScryption
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
Silly Inscryption: Kaycee's Mod demake/fangame in the style of Act II (pixel art) that actually manages to fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk like canon Inscryption. Despite the small size, gameplay-wise it's insanely close to the original, down to the tiniest mechanics and details. It also has a bit of new lore!
It also works on Android, which is actually what everyone knows it for, because no one cares about the rest haha.
There are some plans for a big content update, including more platforms, custom content and other Scrybes' cards, join the Discord server if you're interested! E7217B35

Controls (click to expand)
The main controls are just the mouse or touch. It works pretty much like you remember from Act II.
You can toggle the pause menu by pressing ESC.
However, since pixel cards don't have much space, it gets hard to see actual card portraits with all those sigils on top. So another control was added - Shift. Holding it while hovering over a card will make its cost/decals/sigils semi-transparent, allowing you to see the card underneath better.
Additionally, you can ring the bell in battle by pressing Space, but it's off by default and has to be enabled in the game settings.
List of gameplay changes (click to expand)
- Changed art style to the Act II one (duh)
- Removed challenge levels (you can play any challenge since the very beginning)
- Updated challenges:
- Original Smaller Backpack now can be stacked up to 3 times, disabling items entirely when all 3 are selected
- Original Tipped Scales now can be stacked up to 4 times, starting you with more damage points on your side of the scales
- Original More Difficult now can be stacked up to 5 times, giving you harder encounters in the early game
- Added custom UnFair Hand challenge, which disables the "Fair hand" mechanic, making your opening hand truly random
- Added custom Pelts starter deck
- Added custom ??? starter deck
- Re-added few Beast cards from Act II: Squirrel Ball, Salmon and Hawk. They can be obtained from any card choice nodes
- Fixed several bugs / unintended behaviours original Inscryption had
- Changed up pool of deathcards Leshy uses in his battle, to add custom ones
- Assigned Zombie Parrot to Avian tribe, so Royal's totem actually does something

Developer's afterword (click to expand)
"Wonderful! Now that we are no longer separated by that lovely [playtest]... we may celebrate the end of my very long life. And the end of [Floppy]scryption too!"
It's kind of bittersweet to end the project which was a big and important part of my life for the past ~8 months I've been part of the dev team.
I want to say thanks to everyone who contributed to the game, as well as just random people from DMG discord who made me feel welcome in this community, before mods banned me for a small unrelated drama no one but them gave a fuck about, that is.
Despite this, I'd love to stay and work on the game some more, and make the much requested updates such as adding cards from other Scrybes, more original content, getting on the fucking Play Store, or porting to more obscure platforms such as PS Vita or iOS! I will need some time to rest for now, though.
I hope that you, player, enjoyed this game, and I'm really sorry if you didn't (which is the most likely option, since game consists entirely of cut corners, haha). Goodbye for now.
- FemboyAsh, the developer

Utterly insane achivement! A lot of us were dreaming of having something like this on the go - now we do. Thank you!
Ok this is amazing. I love this. The one thing I wish was in this is was the ability to actually unlock stuff like decks and challenges. Not the painting stuff cuz I'm aware that'd be a bit hard. That way this would feel like the actual rougelike. I'm still grateful I can play this on mah phone tho TvT
Best android port since Ultradroid! ^^
(My one suggestion currently would be a mode that adds Act 2's bosses to Act 1.)
This was actually one of the ideas for the content update, a challenge that replaces the normal bosses with other Scrybes' Act II battles, so most likely it will actually be implemented when I return from break and start working on 2.0 ^^
SO COOL... i would love some sort of technical devlog for this, 1.4 Megabytes is really impressive!
I did want to make a devlog video at some point, as there is indeed some interesting stuff in the making of this game, but as you can probably see from the joke trailer for this game, I look and sound absolutely horrible, so I'm not 100% sure whether I'll actually film it
PEAKKKKK :3
