Never thought i'd take interest in this game genre, but you somehow reeled me in. love the graphics, love the bosses, music did get a bit repetitive after a while but they're still bangers! great entry!
This is really fun! The enemy attacks are telegraphed well so that I'm not very frustrated when I die and lose, so I'm happy and ready to start another run. The gameplay is fun and smooth. The graphics are amazing-- every sprite and animation is well done and retro. If this was on the GameBoy when I was a kid, I would have played this so much.
I had a lot of fun. Well done!
the game play loop is pretty good, nice work!
Thank you 😊
It took me a long time to realize I could actually dodge the enemy attacks. I was just dumping ammo and thinking "this would be a lot better if I could move out of the way."
Overall great game and really unique game boy experience. I've been sending it to my whole nerd crew so that they can check it out.
I thought about including an optional tutorial, but I did not have any time left to implement it. I'm very glad you found out about dodging before giving up on the game 😅
Thanks a lot for sharing with your friends. That's the biggest compliment a game can get 🙏
I have nothing to say. I gave 5 to all aspects. Congratulations.
Thank you sooooooooo much 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent game overall! Easy to learn, pretty complex and requires skill to master. Lovely authentic presentation too. Awesome game, congrats!
Thanks so much 🙏
I gave your game 5 stars all around. I love rogue likes and dungeon crawlers so this is a no brainer hahaha It's def got an addictive quality! I love it, great work! Sounds, music, graphics, everything is on point! Very unique gameplay for the system and very cool that you released it as a rom too!
Wow, thanks so much for the rating and all of your praise. I'm actually blushing right now 😳
Love this game! i'm bad at aiming the monsters but it is fun
It gets easier once you learn the enemies' movement and attack patterns. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time playing nevertheless 😊
Everything about this is great! Aiming in first person is a pain in the ass on a gameboy, haha, but the game is great!
Thanks a lot 🙏 Aiming with 4 buttons can be pretty tricky, I agree 😅
Really amazing. At first it was a bit tricky to use the same buttons for both aiming and moving, but after getting used to it the game became quite fun (but still pretty difficult).
Thanks 😊
The difficulty is definitely intentional. While it is absolutely possible to beat the final boss in the first run, death is intended to be part of the game, as you grow stronger each run.
