Very nice, but extremely simple in the graphics department. The framework of a good game is there and the art is pretty nice (when you zoom in to make it out), with a fair amount of character. Still it's obvious that it's done by someone who's not very good at drawing
Why does this game feel competent despite how it looks?
This was fun. I think I finished it all, I killed a bunch of bosses and couldn't find anywhere to go. Is there any RNG at all (drops etc)? Will there be?
Its obviously pretty early in dev. so I don't know how much useful nitpicking I can do, but anyway:
Add a map please.
Regen is extremely strong, after getting some HP regen the game changed completely from kiting enemies and hiding behind walls to face tanking everything and waiting to heal.
Punching things through walls feels a bit unfair.
You can snipe enemies with spells that are outside of aggro range and they won't react.
Hovering over an item in your inv. and holding down a button to see both stats at the same time would be nice.
Needs an XP bar in the UI.
You can one-hand two-handed weapons if you have enough str. - very nice.
Why is the default keys for quick items F1-9 and not 1-9 keys?
The dash attack spells seems crazy strong, but also really fun to use.
If you hover over an item in your inventory, press I, then move the cursor outside of the inventory screen and press I again the old tooltip will linger around your cursor.
Hovering over an item and right clicking doesn't update the tooltip.
you know i love it. hope you work on it more in the future
some minor issues: found a mana increased by 0 item the first big crab died elsewhere, and a death sprite appeared where he spawned. talking doesn't work? i remember it working earlier naveline is a bit blurry when walking got stuck in the shop room, couldn't get out of it nevermind i was being dumb
i wont post any suggestions because any of those would be exactly how i made my game play, i like your game for doing things differently and im eager to see how you come up with the problems a game of this genre creates.
Neato little orblike. Beat the first boss crab, got into the dungeon, leveled up and scraped through for a while before I finally got too close to one of the big guys shooting red which two-shot me.
Character seems to have a really busy design for how small she is on screen.
It seems pretty decently implemented overall though. Only bug I noticed was that I could still cast spells after dying. (also is there no menu or way to reset afterwards yet? I couldn't find it.)
I also really like the way you let the player use two-handed weapons with a shield if the stats are high enough, as well as having six trinket slots.

I recorded it with other DD52 games.

Doors drop items..? ok
Good stuff, hope to see more from it.
thx for playing, most drops are randomized but a few arent
you know i love it. hope you work on it more in the future

the first big crab died elsewhere, and a death sprite appeared where he spawned.
