I went through the big outside door, and since you can't go back I assume it's the end of this version.
Every part of the game looks pretty good including the attack animation, I discovered the change of colour of the flame by accident, it's cool. The music is cool too. The field of view is good and movement is a bit slow but would feel good if it simply went a bit faster. It's hard to judge combat as it's no fair fights.
The game is lacking a pew pew sound as you pew pew ;) . Also pressing Space more times than the required amount of attacks to kill an enemy leads to the screen blinking the number of exceeding times and then if you walk into another fight before it finished then the game freezes, I guess it's not big deal once you're aware.
I'll play more of this if the enemies ever fight back.
Didn't open any chest but spam killed a lot of enemies. The enemies does not seem to attack back and I have no health or cant die from what I see. Didnt find anything else interesting in the dungeon. Keep adding more content and it will be playable!
Off to a great start! I would love to see more of this. Hope to see you in the next jam!

The environmental art is nice, the hand and flame and enemies are really cool and grid movement/turning at bit slow but they are there. Unfortunately I can't seem to get to far in this one. Eventually it ends up freezing on the combat screen and I can't progress, I also can't seem to open any chests and combat can be cheesed by pressing space bar multiple times.
It seems unfinished and needs a lot of work but I think there's some good foundations here. Hopefully you continue developing it!
The vibes seemed nice, but I couldn't figure out how to collect the chests? The screen kept glitching after the encounter with the enemies :( Didn't manage to lose or win the game at all which is weird I waited for enemies to damage me but I'm not sure there is even a player HP? I am just confused overall... It could get somewhere with some more work but it definitely needs more work.
There are definitely game-breaking graphical glitches in Chrome and Firefox in Windows for me. Another game I played that was made with Construct had the same problem. (If not everyone is seeing them, maybe it's video card dependent?)
That said, the graphics I did see looked really cool. The hand is nice, the fire is gorgeous, and it all fits together nice. The sound is also good. There's some talent here; I hope you can use a different engine for next time.
Good job! loved the atmosphere
Thanks a lot. ๐๐
Sorry, this did not work correctly for me. Is this entry supposed to be complete?
The graphics were glitching horribly and I could spam space to kill the enemies. From what I could see, the graphics seam to be quite nice, with some cool particle effects.
Nice graphics and sound. Some more information on the game page about movement and interaction keys would be nice. How can I open the chests?
As already mentioned. The frequency of random encounters is quiet high and you cant do anything other than attacking.
A solid start tho.
Thank you for your review. ๐๐
Im not sure what to say, I can't move 2 squares without going into battle mode
I also see chests everywhere, but I don't know how to open or interact with them
From movement it is missing strafing left/right, but It's not that important
Im not sure if enemies even do damage to me, they are just there to stop me exploring in peace
Graphics and animations are nice though, could be a good game perhaps with just a little bit more polish of game mechanics
No crashes(not that there are any likely with this engine)
2/5
Hello, thank you for your review.
Can you explain what you mean by "strafing left/right"? English is not my first language. ๐
its when you move sideways to the left/right, without actually turning.
Hmm, right. Thanks ๐
