Very beautiful game. Reminded me a lot of Castlevania and Resident Evil of course. The music and atmosphere are pretty good! The Stairs in the first room didn't seem to work for me right...but then later it worked for some reason. I thought the last boss was a bit...much. Especially the two zombies, it felt more like luck than actual skill. Neat game!

Awesome dos-styled title. I don't really have any complaints about this, other than I wish there was more. It definitely felt like a long lost dos or nes game. That escape sequence was pretty cool too.
Great atmosphere as well, this was just a fun time.

Mr-Powerful-Man!The music and art are fantastic. I really like all of the pixel graphics, though that boss battle could use a little more contrast (if that's the right word) because I had trouble discerning where my character was when I was standing below the boss. I enjoyed playing!

Power NappingGreat music, art and classic gameplay. Details like the messages written in the background and that skeleton at the drink station really helped build the environment. I enjoyed the nods to older games in this! If I was to offer one suggestion, maybe some small flash or animation when an enemy is defeated would improve the feel. Overall I loved the vibe of this game!

Hold the FortHealth bar from Resident Evil and ladders from early Castlevania, what a great combination! Well polished game, great mechanics, controls, graphics are just great, great job! Gameplay is very nostalgic and for some reason reminded me of Jurassic Park from Sega Genesis

POWER OF LOVEBALLThis feels straight out of the NES days! And my god do I love survival horror, this is right up my alley. The only thing it's missing is resource management lol.
well maybe a few more SFX and some particles would've been nice too... But this is good stuff!

Factory ResetLoved the whole cosmic horror vibes. I also liked that one corpse that just wanted a final cup of water.... RIP that dude....

SuperMegaPowerGolf3DThe art style and pixel art is really good! Fun concept, I liked exploring the world. Boss battle was hard but really cool. I kinda panicked when trying to run back, but I made it :D

POWERKEYBOARDHey nice game! I like the art style and the music! I got hit by a dude on the flee scene and got stuck in a floor piece but it was cool! That boss battle is tough!

Power HourSuper fun game. The designs are really good and the controls are intuitive. My only complaint is holding up to go up stairs... I feel like you should go up by default. Once I figured this out, had a good time.

Nuclear HolidayLove the artstyle, the environment design was PEAK, didn't finish but that's just because this isn't my favorite genre.

ElectromancerGreat entry, the star of the show is the pixel art! The artist did a wonderful job. And the game wasn't too hard, i managed to get to the end, however the boss fight was a little bit backwards IMO. It only got easier as you progressed.
