Fun game, got to boss on tenth floor. Not unfamiliar with this type of game, but I think almost everything was intuitive, and i could figure out whats going on. Notes scattered around the dungeon as tips is a nice touch though.

One thing that caused me confusion was what the states ailments do. Granted I used some item that gave me multiple at once so I might have been able to piece it together myself if I only got one of them at a time.

The other was im not sure, is the lamp just to help visually or is there some sort of higher miss chance or something when its not on?

parry/dodge system is cool. Wasnt always sure what the timing should be with the 2D enemies, but might just be a mater of learning their patterns over multiple runs.

Ran into a few glitches.

First was crash that happened after I used an ankh item that boosted my max health and lowerd current to 1, and I used a potion to heal back to full right after. Crash was either right after healing or as I closed the menu, not sure. I did see my health go back to full though on my healthbar before crashing if that helps.

I spawned onto the first floor trapped inside an object.

This one might not be a glitch but I spawned into a floor with where it seems the enemies where all already dead. Saw the little blood piles around the floor. Thought it might be something weird with the slime summoning ring or the passive lighting attack I just got. But there was a shopkeeper on that floor so might be normal?

Thanks for the fun demo, and cant wait to see this game finished!

yo this game looks real different since last time,   i like it

game seems to be running at locked 45fps for some reason

boundless movement ring makes head bobbing really agressive

shopkeepers look way too scary, i tend to attack them out of pure reaction, it should prob be harder to aggro them

the overlay effect from slow down time is way too much, cant see shit

there should probably be a way to see all your gold that doesnt involve cheking your items

ranged weapons feel real hard to hit for some reason, maybe it needs a crosshair for them or somthing

love the game speed option btw

The look of the game is great. The sound is great too. Nice work there. I liked the clarity and consistency of the items you get, and the games systems. They're communicated well. Landing hits and blocking all feel good. But I can't help but feel there is more unrealized potential in the combat system. I'll leave it up to you to determine how much of that is me, not having played very deep into the game.

There was a bit too much of a "rock em sock em" robots feel to the combat, at points. I hit you, you hit me. If I backed up to try and avoid a hit, I still got hit. Blocking, then counter attacking, I still get hit. I need to use the dodge more, but I also don't feel rewarded for blocking at all. I can just run up with block held down, and I'm guarnteed to block. But then I can't really capitalize on that at all.

A "parry" style block might be better suited to this. Where you have a window of "block" after you hit the button. That was I have to pay attention to what the enemy is about to do and respond. 

When I used a big slow weapon (the pike), I kind of expected it to have more of an effect on the enemy, too. It hurt them, but they didn't really react to it at all. 

Anyway, I think some small changes could add a lot of depth to the combat. Either way, it's a good game. Keep it up.
