Nice one. I really liked the art and music, there's a lot of gameplay here too. I keep missing the lift though and it goes without me :)

Amazing how much mechanics are in your game! It was a bit hard to remember, that moving is not "on the left" with WASD, but you get used to it. I enjoyed playing your game!

Thanks for playing! Hopefully the mechanics were also fun to play with haha

Hi! I caught myself really enjoying the game, even with a few bugs and the occasional slightly unfair stun-lock. In fact, at this stage, the bugs actually added a bit of humor and fun to the experience! For example, seeing the health as a float number like 385.454545454545/500 made me laugh the first time it happened.

Another fun mechanic that kept me engaged was the infinite jumps, which let me reach the HUD and feel like Superman above the enemies. It gave me a bit of a 'cheesing' feeling, but in a way that made the experience even more joyful. All in all, it's a great time!

Nice game - really good job!

Navigation and button to controll gameplay are not quite intuitive as in other games so that would be something to look into. I was constantly mistaken which button is jump and which attack.

I would love to see the tutorial in game - I was rushing into it and needed to go back to itchio page to see what I need to do.

Sorry but this music is not my favourite - maybe I don't rally like 8-bit type of music ^^

Overall really nice submission - keep working on great games ;)

It seems like your browser version isn't fitting the screen properly but I gave the downloadable a shot anyways:

Cute game, lots of fun ideas. Attacks feel pretty good, the floaty damage numbers are a great addition. I found that the difficulty varied quite a lot from room to room and in general everybody (player included) had way too much health.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into the issue surrounding the browser window
