Very nicely done! Love the animation, love the theme, great job.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I like your submitted game too.

Big fan of matrix references :D Good game all around, you should be happy with how this turned out :P

Developer(+1)

Thanks, nice to hear that :)

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed this! Is it only a few rooms? My rabbit seemed to not open anything up/go anywhere after the room with the tiger. In this case I wish the game were a bit longer because I was really having fun with it. Good effort and make some more levels!!

Developer(+2)

There is a lot of levels. Some rooms have a door to an additional level which has only one door so after completing it you have to go back and follow the white rabbit. Sorry for the confusion.

Great game! Love the binary code fx when they die and right when I was thinking to myself that I would like a dash you gave it to us! Awesome pacing of difficult and powerups! Lovely game!

Developer(+1)

I am so happy to hear that you liked it! Thanks a lot.

Submitted(+2)

Cool animation when they die :D it was really fun to play! 

Submitted(+2)

Love the binary when enemies die!! Very cool gameplay :)

Submitted(+2)

Really awesome graphics, the difficulty could be tuned down a bit, having to restart from the beginning could be frustrating for some people, overall enjoyed the game.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I kinda exaggerated with the amount of rooms compared to players health. Thanks for the feedback and kind words!

Submitted(+2)

Wow, your game is very cool. It's very clear that you put a lot of work into it. Congrats!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I am happy you liked it.

Reminds me of the Binding of Isaac with different visuals and different story. Overall, fun game with some opportunities for improvement in the future.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I like the Binding of Isaac so it's nice to hear.

Submitted(+2)

That was fun! My only complaint is I tried to shoot the rabbit in every room before I realized he wasn't an enemy. I feel pretty bad about it actually...

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah, the rabbit is there for you to follow it, but I understand it could be confusing.

Submitted(+2)

This is a real nice game, with some more audio and music work it would be really good! The game is pretty difficult with no way to replenish your health and how long you have to go on for in it, but other than that it is a really solid submission!

Developer(+2)

Thanks! I unfortunately didn't have time to add more sounds and some music. There is a cake in one room that heals you, but I agree that the game could be easier.

Submitted(+2)

Nice game, it is really difficult. I like it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, it's nice to hear :)

Submitted(+2)

It's a good game with some great art, but I did give up after dying at the second boss and having to restart the whole game. 

Developer(+2)

Yeah, you have to be very patient to finish the game, but I feel like checkpoints wouldn't fit the story. Thanks for the compliments!

Submitted(+2)

Yea, I completely understand that. It's difficult to balance the ideas you have for your game, with someone just going through the submission of the jam. Most people will be wanting to try as many games out as possible and, in turn, won't want to spend too much time on a single game; especially if they have to repeat a large section of it. Still, it did feel good to play so I might end up coming back to it in the future. 

Submitted(+2)

I like how you used the theme. I surely enjoy the graphical design of the enemies.

One thing I surely didn't like is the dash being stuck onto the mouse instead of being alongside the keyboard's movement, it stops me for focusing on shooting through one device and moving with the other. In fact the dash this way kept me going right into the bullets.

Rock solid anyway however, impressive to have this in 1 week!

Developer(+2)

Thank you, I put a lot of effort to the graphical design.

I agree with the dash, I thought that it would be interesting to have to aim to a safe place and dash there, but it turned out to be a debuff, not a powerup. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+2)

Great game, especially the enemy disappearing animations, that is really nice. I was inspired by Matrix too. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I am happy you liked the animations. I also played your game, the Matrix refferences were really cool.

Love this awesome little roguelike adventure. A fantastic submission and a really great start to what could be a great commercial roguelike game. I won't go into too much detail since I actually played this game (among others) on my YouTube channel so you can see my live thoughts and feedback! You can check out the video here: 

Developer(+2)

Thank you! It feels really good to see my game in a YouTube video, it means a lot to me. Thanks for the rating.

Submitted(+1)

nice game but i should be able to dash in the direction i am moving  not in the direction i am aiming

Developer(+1)

That's true, the dash ability could be improved. Thanks for the feedback!
