Thanks, Dmented - I do agree on the movement. I'm a big fan of Doomguy and his ability to run at 57mph so I think I did have one scenario where the player did that, which was a heap of fun, but it just made things much too easy. With some larger scenes and the action zoomed out a bit I think it would work a bit better.

Thank you neurobio, I'd experimented with 2D lights in Godot and the performance was disastrous, so I was really happy to see that they didn't choke the system in Unity (at least on my dedidated GPU-less potato)

Thank you! Yes, had lots more planned - really really really wanted Shylock to sell you upgrades / heals or just gate you, trash talk you, and take all your money, Tom Nook style lol. Also wanted to add in character selection with different attributes so you could play as the Prince of Morocco for example. Then I'd definitely have been at least a little more on-theme.

As it stood with just a couple of hours in the evenings to work on the game I had to rein it all in or I'd have failed on the deadline (and very nearly did lol). So with my limited palette of enemies and features, I thought four levels was quite enough otherwise I'm being a bit rude to the player.

And thank you for asking! I am definitely looking to expand this; I've plenty of Unity packages I couldn't use due to the (absolutely fair) gamejam restrictions on paid assets. I'm either going to go in a roguelike direction or gauntlet direction, not sure yet! I love Diablo and the loot pinata (as you may have guessed from my 'coin sprayers' lol), and I love dual stick shooters so I'm sure these things can marry up!

Thanks for your review! I've removed the bounciness now, so it should play a bit more smoothly now.

Thanks! I tried to make it accessible, engaging and fast paced.

Thanks Warlike! I need to come back and complete your game - defo want to see the endings. 

I should be able to add in controller controls without too much trouble, though I might be pushing my luck with the 'polishing' rules..!

Thank you! Yes, I was very strapped for time these last two weeks - fortunately I was able to take the Friday off work otherwise the game would not have been released!

I fully intend to expand on the game in future with procedural dungeon generation and proper roguelike features. And the big missing feature - amusing dialogue!!

Thanks for your comment! It's a wonder what Unity's URP along with 2D lights and a 'shadowcaster' on the player can do to those simple (but beautiful) 32x32 Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup tiles.

Re: the dying sound - I pushed a quick fix to the game now to fix that (silent Prefab variant version of the Coin Sprayer and Small and Large Coins) as I don't want to damage anyone's ears. My mixer seems to duck the audio automatically, but I guess everyone's audio drivers / devices are different.

PS. prefab variants are one of the most useful things I've learned about on the Gamedev.tv Unity course. Great little things.

Gold coins are wonderful! My precious!! I agree, that sound is a really good one - there's some real gems over on Freesound: https://freesound.org/people/Anthousai/sounds/336567/

Thank you so much for your comment - it was a tough two weeks, but comments like yours really do encourage me to want to pick it up again.

Thanks Rodrigo!

Tibia was a blast - I remember playing it when they'd basically 'borrowed' all the tiles from Ultima VI (another of my fave games). I still need to balance the mass of the coins, they're a bit heavy when you try and pick up your dropped gold.

Cheers, Chris

For reference. What a game! https://www.reddit.com/r/TibiaMMO/comments/md89qi/dont_know_if_you_guys_have_eve...

Thanks! Yes I absolutely agree on those things. I reduced the player's shot range because originally the only way to aggro an enemy was to shoot them (hadn't added the bats at that point) and it made things too easy. Definitely need to look at that.

Yeah re: the theme it's is mostly via the background, didn't manage any overt references via the gameplay - the day I lost on the WebGL issues I had down to add some dialogue, alas time ran out. Cheers for the feedback, really appreciated.

Thanks, ANEQAngel! Appreciate the feedback - I'll need to get busy adding more features (after 18th June of course) for it to be playable for long session gaming, as it's a pretty short game as it stands. With the limited tileset and enemy / loot palette I didn't want to be rude to the player by letting things get boring.

Thanks buddy! Re: the controls, I know it's a pain navigating narrow passageways. I was going for a balance between inertia-based acceleration and twitch controls, but tight controls are probably better suited to this one, especially once the projectiles start flying! As quite a few people have mentioned it I'll test a few more variations of movement if I continue dev on this one.

Actually I had an even more Diablo-like experimental 'right click to move to point' system using nav mesh agents but it didn't quite make it to the final product. D2 is totes one of my fave games of all time.

Thanks, Marcus. Yeah, wish I'd had a bit more time to devote to sound engineering, but I lost the day planned for that due to deployment issues, so they're a bit dodgy. Cheers for the review!

Thanks for the kind words, Brohmyr. There should be music though unless you've found a bug. If so I'd really appreciate it if you'd give it another try when you've a moment then I can look into it. Cheers :)

Thanks guys! It was my first time playing with Unity's 2D lighting - was slightly worried that the 'experimental' tag would cause me some heartache, but it seems 'good enough' for production! Well done to the Unity team - I think they get bashed a bit more than is fair.

Thanks CFHM, I was going to record myself saying silly medieval things for the sound effects but (un?)fortunately there wasn't time.

Yeah I wish I'd had time to implement some utility for the gold - perhaps different messages on the win screen - though I suppose it could be argued it having no intrinsic use fits with the theme! </lazy developer excuse>

Thanks for the comment, appreciate it!

Thanks so much, experial! I'll check out your game this weekend.
