This was really well done, super polished. The graphics made it feel like I was playing an actual PS1 game. My sole complaint is I wish there were more moves/items to use to vary up the gameplay a bit.

Amazing job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We tried to capture the feeling of a PS1 game as best we could, it makes me happy to know so many people enjoyed that part. We'll definitely be adding more gameplay elements in a full release when we pursue that.

Thank you very much for the kind words! You're right, adding a magic system of some kind would really spice up the gameplay, we'll keep that in consideration for further development!

I like the theme and how well you show it through UI choices. The gameplay was intuitive and the music helped with the immersion. Good work!

Nice job! I enjoyed the death screen music a lot and the intro story and the starting level text added a nice level of polish to it. It was really fun building up combos, too! The idea of each wave coming from behind a door but also the mystery doors you could open was a nice way to handle the theme!

Thanks again for playing Untangled! And congrats on finishing the jam!

We felt those non-gameplay elements were integral to the experience of a classic PS1/PS2 style game, so we made sure they felt authentic and cool! We had plans to justify the doors further with a big bad "door demon" but things didn't pan out.

Likewise! Thanks for playing!
