Oh damn it feels really good to play, you've nailed it
Fun game, liked the music
It seems like a fun concept! I wish that there was more level progression because I just dumped money into the upgrades early and then it kinda felt like a grind without difficulty progression for the next 4-5 levels. I also found that the slime random movement felt cool at first (and looks neat) but was mostly annoying since they would move on top of me and I didn't feel like I had much need for control of my movements once I ran out of swords (which weren't really needed).
I love the core concept/theme of the game as a fun take on Moonlighter and I think it could be explored way more. Well done for 7 days!
Nice entry it was very polished!
Loved the game! Interesting concept, fun music and changing sounds - it's quite addicting! Also, easy to understand, but not too simple with all the features and shop around it, which is a great bonus! I made it to cavern 6 before taking a wrong turn before I noticed :D Seems like a complete gamejam submission if I ever saw one! Great job!
Interesting game concept, not killing enemies but "robbing" them. Quite enjoyed it. Would have liked more player feedback when the bag is full, i spend quite a few times bumping into stuff wondering why it didn't pick up only to notice my bag was full. Also felt a bit too luck based, if i went into a direction that ended up being a deadend there would be nothing i could do to escape the goblins.
Thanks for playing, and for leaving feedback! I agree on all points here. The bars aren't necessarily enough feedback to indicate game state. Audio queues are needed. I also intended to display the entire level to the player before starting, in order to help them navigate. I want those detour routes to be calculated choices rather than unexpected dead ends.
(I actually have a patch ready with these changes, but I'm holding it until 7DRL judgement ends, to give an accurate reflection of my results for the judges.)
