i love it, directions were clear though movement was abit limiting in this crawler, felt like i was crawling through the room before reaching a door having to spam the direction keys, id like to have seen either a hold down function or have it so only combat initiates the tap tap tap strategy of the movement, overall great game, ive no experience with pixel games but ive seen pixel art and this seemed lovely, ive more information in my video review of your game at 30:44 - 41:49... i hope its helpful.

Really cool dungeon crawler concept that has some beautiful pixel artwork. The biggest improvements I can think of would be allowing for directional movement to be repeated if the arrow key is held down (it got pretty tiring just pressing the same direction repeatedly when I had a straight path) and adding some respites or another type of pace-breaker. Nonstop puzzle-oriented combat can feel somewhat exhausting without something more noticeably relaxed to slow down with. Otherwise, great work!

One of the most enjoyable puzzles games I've played in a long time. I did encounter an issue with not being able to control the character when the scene faded in twice after dying.

I absolutely love this style gameplay! Everything was really great, and provided a good challenge while adding new concepts quickly enough to ramp up interest. My only notes would be:

-Music felt at times to be a little bit too upbeat or intense for the situations

-Boxes still requiring 2 hits to break even after enemies were cleared was tedious

-Boss fight was phenomenal!

It was really fun! The graphics are great and the music is catchy! The monsters were fun to maneuver around and I had to use a bit of strategy  near the end. Though the main reason I died a few times was because I was trying to run through the levels too fast haha.
