Wow this is an awesome roguelite! I'm really impressed by the amount of content that you've crammed in here, and most of it feels super well polished! The few issues I did have were pretty minor, mainly that it takes over 20 seconds of waiting between runs. That includes the cutscenes, transitions, 'get ready' message and more. This feels too long, particularly on repeat playthroughs. It would be nice if this could be sped up; perhaps only play the cutscenes when you first boot up the game? My other issue was with dead zones on controller, I kept on accidentally triggering bombs and had to move over to keyboard controls. 

Otherwise, the game was incredibly solid, and I will absolutely come back to this. I managed to reach the third area, and that place looks frickin mad. I can't believe there's a total of five areas (and a boss), such a crazy amount of content! I loved the game and had heaps of fun!

Wait a heckin second, did you make this by yourself?! If so that's simply insane, I'd imagined it was made by a full team of five or so. 

Developer

:OO Thanks for the usefull feedback! Those are definetly two problems that I forgot to address!

And thanks for the compliments :))
Yup, made by myself and I've probably worsen my sight thanks to this jam x)

Awsome retro game, fully polished and fun gameplay! Music and graphics fits together perfectly. Map seems to be randomly generated everytime which was confusing for me. I expected to start at the same level 1 but it was completely different. Would be nice to play this with nintendo! Great job!

Developer

Nintendo! One Day! One Day!

Thanks for playing :))

I'm loving this! The retro pixel art goes great together with the audio, the gameplay is fun and the overall game design is impressive for a week's work. Very well done!

thanks a lot :D

There’s a very satisfying genuineness to this game. This isn’t retro-inspired, this is a benefited late-80s console game which happens to have been made in 2020. Every aspect of the game went into creating that nostalgiac feel. Besides that, it was very fun in its own right and the settings menu build into the game world was a very cool (and inspiring) trick. Very good title. Thank you for sharing.

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it, I tried to create a menu that involved the use of the main mechanic of the game.

THIS GAME IS GREAT! The graphics and audio are awesome. It's very fun and easy to learn. Really, good job.  The only point is that you could maybe increase the contrast between the enemys and other assets... i actually tried to grab a demon... xSSS

Sounds like my last relationship.

I might try to play around with colors, but I've limited myself to the 16 of the commodore 64

What a masterpiece you made, Arabong!
Stunning polished game I saw so far in this jam! you gotta released it on steam man!

Submitted(+1)

I really wondered this game has 19 votes just!!🤔
Come on guys! it deserves to be in the top 10 popular games. 

Developer(+2)

Thanks for all that :))

I'm planning on contacting a few publishers. If the game gets covered in a brackeys video, it would make the process  a lot whole easier.

Let's hope for the best! Good luck you too with your project!

Absolutely best pixel graphics and character design! I really like the gameplay! Well done

Developer

Thanks a lot! Trying your game right now!

Cool game. And quite difficult . It was very hard even to get to the second level.

Developer

I should probably add a third button, specific to bombs, maybe once the jam is over.

I’m glad you found it cool :)

Submitted(+1)

Such a polished game, love the punchy sounds and visuals !

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Fantastic game! The art and controls are great. It had me hooked from the start. The controller vibration was a nice touch.

Developer(+1)

thanks a lot :))

if you reach the later levels, please let me know what you think of ‘em, as they might lack a bit of content x)

Submitted(+1)

Sure!

Developer

thanks a lot!! :))

Submitted(+1)

Omg, this is super super cool, you made this in a week? So impressive!

Loved the art and almost all in your game.

Reminds me to a game that Anna Antrophy  mentions in her book "A Game Design Vocabulary".

Great work!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I've read that book! I thought about the same thing while making it hahaha!!

But it's not that game >:)) It's inspired by minecraft and downwhell x))

Submitted(+1)

Nice! hahah 

Great inspirations for an amazing game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot :D

I've rated your game! It was really fun to play!!

The hard part of this game is figuring out the controls, and what's happening on the screen, but once you get that, it's really cool and well done! Super visually pleasing and fun to play :D Very good work for a solo dev in 1 week! Good job

Submitted(+1)

Had a little bit of a hard time figuring out the controls, but when you get a hang of how it works, it is great!

Developer

I should post the controls in the description of the game! Thanks for the suggestion :)))

Submitted(+1)

I like the art style very much! The music is also suitable. It reminds me of a game called "Downwell" and this game is also a great game!

Developer(+1)

Don't tell Devolver digital about it.. or please do !! x)
