  • An interesting and neat little idea for a roguelike. I think the base idea for the game is pretty sound, and would (like most things) benefit from more audio and perhaps a few more weapons. My kids enjoyed the game and we thought it also might help if there was a counter of some kind as to how deep we're going to get to the last stage. Hopefully you can chip away at this idea for a while longer...

  • The game is very basic prototype. A few enemies with the only difference in hp and dmg, two consumable items - one heals, one kills an enemy (or yourself). On every level you need to find a key and then a door to the next level. Killing enemies is entirely optional, but in most cases fights cannot be avoided due to size of the room and the need to backtrack. Backtracking is quite cumbersome because of blocking movement animation and room change animation. In general it's too little to do to even somewhat enjoy the game.

  • Observations:

    • Adjust the volume in combat
    • You can have more HP than the supposed Max, e.g. -> 9/6, 11/6, etc.
    • LOL I killed myself with a wrench!?
    • The item ratio in the exploding boxes must be close to zero though the enemy encounters are also scarce, add that to a streak of empty rooms and you found the player getting tired of just walking.

    Overall is a good base for improvement, pretty good for a Jam game.

Neat graphics! I included it in my 7DRL Challenge compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
