I found it very fun.  I enjoyed the idea of finding trophies to get gifts from the temples.  Food was very troublesome for me.  I think I will continue trying to get those hydras!

Thanks for playing! Yeah I had a few playtesters really struggle with food, so the game could use a lot more balancing if I ever work on it more.

This is a really nicely polished game, well done! And Kevin Macleod was a great choice for the music!

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

I keep coming back to it, even if it's so hard. I like it a lot! It's my favorite from the two dozens I tried. It plays well, the graphics are wonderful, the music is good. It's easy to understand and play (just impossible to win).

Would love to be able to heal more often, I think. Or choose the gift in the temples. Anything that would keep me alive longer haha.

Thanks so much for playing!


Yeah I definitely made it a bit too hard. Those are some great suggestions for improvement!

This is a genuinely fun roguelike with enormous traditional energy for the genre. You embraced your theme so thoroughly: the HP being argonauts and offering food to the satyrs felt magically well-knit to me. It can be a bit difficult: maybe I suck, maybe I need to read more closely and/or keep trying for lucky word generation! But I think I actually will keep trying - which is exactly how I want to feel after 20 minutes into a new game. I thought the font was a bit hard to read, but there’s an option for that. That’s what I call polished. If this is what you can come up with in a week, I’d love to see what you can do with a month. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
