- nice rogue legacy type startup stats
- moving and fighting feels good, like the rhythm of a fight is always great
- dialogue is a little stilted
- knocked a mage onto some spikes and had to take damage to pick up his key, which sucked
- please make mages play a sound when they fire

altogether it's pretty fun, although some of the art clashes to me.

Thank you for playing!
>had to take damage to pick up his key, which sucked
You can collect keys and legacy loot bags in a jump. Hehe, I need to think about how to give that info to the players.

Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense if you're always raycasting down for interaction or whatever. I was surprised to hear the spikes trigger as I jumped over them.

Not to be that guy, but can you post a linux build? Wine works for a lot of games on linux, but this one throws some error about shaders on startup. Would love to play otherwise.

Developer

Oh, well, I tried to make it for linux, but it was a nightmare, 'cause GM's linux export is real garbage, it only works well for ubuntu, and not every version, and as for a person who never used linux before it was a long time wasted for no results, so I burned my ass and scrapped that idea for the time being.
As for shaders error, that happens on fresh windows systems as well, it just needs DirectX 9 manually installed. That could be helpful with this situation too.
