How does your game fit the theme?
Door Pickers is a dungeon crawler that's all about seeing what's behind the next door.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes! Our 3-man team created the game entirely from scratch, except for the font, which was free to use.

I liked how the mechanics came together very well. I do think though that the armor was overpowered... Beated the game on first try because I took almost no damage ;)
Yeah, armor stacking is a problem lol. I probably need to add equip slots to restrict the amount of armor the player can wear.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great game! Very polished!
Amazing job - everything felt highly polished and the gameplay loop going through each floor felt solid! It's super impressive all of the different monsters and items your team created during the game jam! The art and sound are both very nice and the game design is well executed so I never questioned what to do or how to interact with anything. Well done!! :D
Wow, that’s high praise! Thanks for playing
Had fun playing through this! Simple gameplay, but the variety of weapons and enemies you can encounter makes up for it! One small thing, it would be nice if the damage counters reflects the amount of damage you actually dealt to the enemy if it has armor. Was a little confused at first when the damage counter said 4 damage, but hit for 3. Other than that, great work on this!
Glad you had fun! Thanks for your feedback, the damage display is a common pain point amongst players so definitely something I plan to fix.
Good game design. Although the gameplay loop was simple, you guys executed it well enough to keep me playing. I wish I could've found more torches though haha
I really had fun playing this one! Great use of the theme and overall good design, art, and sound!
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!
Simple gameplay but fun and it fit to the theme of the jam well. I like the variety of enemies, weapons, and items. Great job :D
Thank you!
This is the best entry I have played for now ! Very clever concept and matches the theme really well, congrats !
Thanks!
Fun minimalistic dungeon crawler! Hey that thief took my stuff! Nice artwork and sounds. Overall great game.
Thanks for playing!
Very Fun!
Thanks!
Perfect game! Even though I was robbed 5 times by thieves :)
Thank you for playing!
I really liked the idea of the game. It fits very well to the theme. I got robbed like 4 times in a row and lost in the next 2 floors :(
Thanks for your feedback! I think smoothing out the RNG might improve the game a lot. Like only getting one thief per floor.
Np yea you can make the RNG more fair but still very nice game.
The game idea is really good, I got a lot of fun when I learned how to play, like the middle of the second run and got robbed a couple of times, great job
Thanks for your kind feedback!
I like the concept and style of the game its pretty innovative and fits the theme of jam! great job !
Thanks!
The different types of weapons and learning about which was best to use against each enemy type was engaging. The art is super cute and I loved the music and sound effects as well!
I liked your take on the theme, though as it is right now it seems like the best strategy is to open all the doors on each level in order to find the best gear possible, I would have loved some kind of incentive to take the ladder earlier, so you'd have to make a choice whether to stay or to go to the next floor.
Overall fun game, stacking a ton of armour was very satisfying.
Thanks for your feedback! Armor stacking is common feedback lol
The idea of the game is pretty cool. The attack need some kind of feedback and juice, it's not clear when you can attack and if the attack happened at all
Thanks for the feedback! I can understand your point about it not being clear when/how to attack - perhaps a clear turn indicator or a message telling you to select an item would be an improvement.
I don’t really understand your second point (and I’m trying). There is an attack animation, floating damage number, and sound for both the player and the enemy. Could you elaborate on it being unclear whether the attack happened at all?
After replaying the game, I think the issue specifically is that HP doesn't go down immediately after attacking. That brief moment when there is a damage number appears but the health doesn't go down is confusing.
I see what you mean, thanks!
I really like the game and the idea. The robber seems a little too punishing tho(maybe i got unlucky)
There’s definitely an element of luck in your success!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Very nice game. Fit the theme very good.
Like the idea you guys came up with. I didn't mind the main track, I though it was good (also good sound effects).
Good job :)
Thanks for the feedback! How far did you make it in the dungeon?
Right before the boss, but he one shot me ;-;
Haha, oh no! He’s a scary guy.
Cool little dungeon crawler...a type of game I like!
The main music track did not 100% fit the scene, but otherwise well done!
Thanks so much for your thoughts!
I love dungeon crawlers so this peaked my interest instantly :)
I was just set back a bit by the music, it only made me think about Theme hospital and not a deep dungeon crawl with monsters behind every corner.
Thank you for the feedback!
