Very pretty and polished so great job on that! The combat was a little bit confusing to me at first although I'll admit I haven't played many (any) dungeon crawlers, but once I understood it it was quite fun! Hope you continue work on this, thanks for sharing it!

Really nice looking game, loved the pixel art and the amount of effort you put into the characters and level design.  The verticality and being able to climb stairs to access different levels added a lot of variety.  

The party system has a lot of depth to it too which is impressive, being able to swap inventory items, weapons and armour between characters is very cool.  

I didn't like pressing buttons and not knowing what they did, it made navigation a litte bit confusing at times, but maybe that's just me.  

A really solid game with a lot of polish - great job! 

I played it longer than I had originally intended. Which is a good thing. Everything felt... well, pretty good. There isn't much I can really say against it except maybe that I felt I was going in circles or not accomplishing much other than clearing the lair of its inhabitants. But even if that's what I was mostly doing, I had a blast doing so. Very polished submission. Good work!

great verticality and character upgrade system, also liked the enter the gungeon-type entrance

combat and the dungeon shape could use some polishing, maybe guide the player a bit more using the environment (ngl was getting confused at times but could be just me) but otherwise had nice visuals and was nice overall, good job participating

I managed to get through 90% of the content before getting stuck. I had the heartbrain, but couldn't figure out how to continue because I wasn't able to find the button for the stomping device (which I did find, but didn't know how to activate). So I peeked at Somdudewillson's video to see what to do next, but that was pretty much the end :D

I love the verticality, it really is a great addition to the game. It also looks quite nice, but same-y. I got lost many times, and there wasn't much guidance on what to do or where to go next, as it felt like one giant area with everything scattered about and accessible through multiple pathways.

Combat could use some polishing, I think. Auto-cycling characters was a bit confusing at first, especially when the mage is out of mana, as nothing happens then and you have to manually select a new char. And I preferred to pick enemies off from a distance with ranged weapons, so I had to keep reselecting that character continuously. So it felt a bit clunky. And while I realize it's quite common in crawlers, I don't like the step-forward-then-instant-hit-then-back-up gameplay that much, as it feels cheap.

Character building feels way overtuned, as levelups are so common and adding a stat point restores all resources, which also makes combat a breeze and the potions only useful as pressure plate weights :D But I know, better have the game be too easy than too difficult, but because of this the combat didn't really do it for me.

Wish I could've swapped AD with QE though :D

Overall a pretty solid game! I think some guidance could help, or perhaps restructuring the map to make it feel less chaotic would help. Things like adding a note or a sign at the giant stomping device with a hint on how to activate it. Some more flavor would also add a lot to the world, I think.

Good stuff!

Your game is visually gorgeous! I think your screenshots undersell your visuals, which is a shame considering how great the game looks. They are a bit dark, you could have turned on the crystal "flashlight" on before taking the snapshots.

Overall the level of polish is awesome, I love the dialogue system, the consistency of all the visuals and the verticality of the dungeon layout, which is rare enough to be pointed out 🙂

I too spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to pick up the pixel art flowers, but then I found a potion and understood then that the flower can't be picked up 😅

About the controls, I found movement very fluid and pleasant. My only minor complaint is that there was no keyboard shortcut on attack or interact with things in front of you. I prefer to use the arrow keys, but since using the mouse is mandatory for battle, I had to use WASD to keep my mouse in hand. Nothing major, though.

I didn't reach the end because I got lost at some point, near a room that has two weight switches (loved that by the way, dropping items on them both was intuitive but made me feel smart), but I played for a while and had a great time. Overall a very solid entry, congratulations!

Had a great  game session! Wasn't really smooth cause of the lengthy but unchecked navigation, at the start those golden bells things on the ground looked liked items so I like spent 10 min just trying to pick them up just to realize that you can't :'), and also items did not work properly, I just couldn't equip some armor and weapons and also couldn't use the armor and the sword together, but even so, the game visuals were polished and the setting very curated! Maybe the scope of the map did not give you the posibility to polish the game as a whole but all in all it's a fun game! And yeah I also finished the game ahah, I don't know why but I had two hearts in my inventory, also, the magic proficency ap cost is 0 right now! Almost forgot to mention haha

This entry felt very visually polished and I enjoyed the implementation of the combat system and the basic movement controls. Surprised and impressed by the size of the game world, but it really needs either a minimap or a waypoint system at this level of complexity. Overall this is a very technically impressive entry.

This is a much bigger game than what I would have expected - although the signposting in the level is a bit lacking for its scale. The combat is reasonably tactically deep, and I like the leveling system. The overall aesthetic is pretty good, although a lot of the alleyways sort of blend into each other after awhile.

I did encounter a couple of bugs - a sword/bow textually labeled as a sword but with the graphic of a bow, and one pressure-plate-activated door whose collision didn't actually move out of the way (and generally behaved rather weirdly). Also, the ending scene bugged out and just displayed the intro text at a weird offset.

I recorded my entire (78-minute) playthrough, and you can watch it if you like:

Very impressive amount of work and polish.  The visuals are brilliant.  The combat system was decent.  The characters were well thought out.  Played this game the longest of any entry, although I didn't finish it as I couldn't find the brain.  A minimap would have made navigation a lot easier.

This was a really great game. Loved the combat, loved the RPG elements with upgrading your character points and gaining ability points, itemization was nice, I ended up feeling very OP.

But, I didn't know how to finish it. I got the still beating heart and that was about it. I don't know what "big thing" I need to find to destroy it. And I don't know what brain the skeleton wants me to find either, unless he means the heart, but if he does, he doesn't want it when I deliver it to him.

Would've loved to finish it, but it's not a bad thing that I didn't figure it out. Loved everything else about the game!

The multiple characters had alot of variety with the skills available. The combat was simple and intuitive. The size of the map was great and had lots of verticality and biomes, which I loved the graphics. I ran around for a while and accidentally destroy a key by picking up another item while it was on my cursor (whoops) and I think that prevented me from finishing. I will replay to finish, but this I think has potential to be a solid commercial crawler - I would buy it! Great job!

This was a fun one! I just finished the game in around 40 minutes. I was concerned I wouldn't complete it based upon some others' thoughts, however I was able to more or less find my way. Navigation is a little tricky for sure, however heading in the required directions and reading what the NPCs / items said was helpful. I do however believe that the map size is actually quite good, and instead it just needs some more landmarking and some visual clues to help guide the player a little more.

The combat and associated systems are lovely, the presentation is stunning and the skill-points, abilities and items were all very clear in what they did, and what I needed to do to scale them. I had a couple of tooltip bugs showing a bow as a sword, but  it unequipped the correct corresponding slot, so no drama's there. I was also able to infinitely allocate the mage's skill points into weapon proficiency. But for the depth of the systems you have produced in such a short time, I think that's completely normal and doesn't affect my views or rating. 

Visually it's beautifully presented through and through. I thoroughly enjoyed playing and I think others will too who can get to grips with navigation, because you have a really solid base for a more extensive, interesting game.

Thank you.

Looks like a great potential, sadly, I wasn't able to progress very far, as I got soft locked without knowing what to do next. I love the character sprites and the battle, UI is a bit fiddlig, would need bigger interaction areas in my opinion. But I would love to play a full flegded game in this direction. Liked the experience!

I wasn't able to find that brain, tried to go in the direction but couldn't find it. There were trapdoors in the ground that animated, but I were not able to go down them, maybe I was missing something. Inventory system worked great and upgrading characters. However I ended up setting all characters to melee and upping that stats to be able to just mass click the mobs.
Anyway nice feeling of the game, good job!

Nice graphics and atmosphere was really fun to play.  The goblins looked great.

Thanks for the Intel fix. Very well rounded game!

I never found what I was looking for, but I leveled up a bunch along the way, so that was nice.
