This is a really well presented, simple to pick up but seemingly deep game! Unfortunately for me it's a bit too harsh with the RNG as half the time I'd start right next to something which would proceed to wipe out the majority of my health, or I'd start next to two things which I'd have no chance of beating it. Besides that I had a few runs which felt more fair and were really fun! I like the way you have to juggle which item you want to keep and I like the turn based movement (this reminded me a lot of desktop dungeons which I love!).  Awesome work :D

Brilliant game! It certainly has better presentation than mine, with all the gameplay gifs and videos.

Gameplay is fun, although I'm a bit disappointed at how both of my good runs ended. Game went into an infinite loop and never halted when I tried to throw away an item in a tight corridor where all adjacent tiles already had items. The second time I just got a "mobs.lua:58: bad argument #1 to 'add' (Quad expected, got nil)".

Apart from that, I couldn't figure out how to use repair scroll, lamps, shields. They don't seem to do anything in item slot and cannot be equipped.

Cool idea!
It's not the first "carry only one" game I come across, but I love how you give it an explanation by saying the hero forgot his backpack. XD
So, yeah, that's a nice game. Kinda regret the controls aren't displayed on the screen, though.

Pretty cool! I wish I didnt have to hit the button every time I wanted to move a space, but that's a pretty minor complaint. Cool game!

Once I obtained a cuirass and long-sword, the monsters were no longer monsters.

I was the monster.

Quite fun! I believe I would have won, but the maze that was generated had some unreachable monsters. 5ft of stone was the only thing standing between them and my bloodlust.

It would be nice to have some quality of life UI stuff, like if I hit equip when I'm standing over something on the ground and I'm not holding anything, I would like to equip it without the extra step of picking it up.

I *can* see the argument for making me perform each little step separately though, so I suppose it depends what you're going for!

Love games with the idea of a light following you, and the story and being able to take only one item is cool, good job :D

Nice work! I found it pretty difficult, but that's just keeping true to the roguelike genre. Considering you're streamlining the roguelike inventory, I agree with others that you could probably go ahead and streamline the control system too. Cool game though, I liked this!

Wow a rogue-like for a game jam takes guts! You did a great job with it though! I would have liked if visibility was a bit better, but other than that you created a challenging, but rewarding game! Fun concept and the twist was implemented well! Good job!

It's a neat game wich reminds classic games, however, the resolusion is too small and it's hard to see what happens in the game. Also, there it's bad that you didn't show controls in game. Anyway, I like the oldscool style of the game.

You must be very brave to make a roguelike for a two-day game jam! Using LÖVE to develop a roguelike makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a try. Check our game: https://cerosware.itch.io/one-stick-shooter

Just finished testing the game, I must say it's quite impressive to come up  with so much content in such a short period of time. The  theme is really well respected, and even a bit too much : It's really hard to keep up with all the enemies while memorizing the emplacements of all the items you've encountered as well as all the paths you've explord and yet to explore.  You can sometimes pick up two items, but that's pretty much it when it comes to practicality.

The controls don't do your game a favour either. They seem like scattared across the keyboard, and some actions are unecessarily convoluted. For example, if I want to switch between items, I shouldn't have to do Unequip > Throw > Pick up > Equip and only then be able to use the object, because each action consumes a turn, and when you're fighting enemies it quicklu becomes tiresome. Only one button should be enough.

Also, a minor thing I have noticed : When you run away frome an enemy, the enemy chases you AND deals you damage if they happen to be on the adjacent tile. And when your weapon just broke and you're trying to survive until you get a new one, it can feel really unfair.

Needless to say, I couldn't finish a level, but I salute the efforts you put into implementing your mechanics. Just make sure next time  to put ergonomy before complexity. Nice job nonetheless :)

Hey there, before I rate your game : How do you open the doors ? The only items I found were pices of armor and there was no key in any of my playthroughs...

Pretty neat game! It really remember me to the classics rpg text adeventures hahaha. Great style and it's fun!.

The only thing that bugs me a little are the controls... one you understand them you can play without problems, but they are a bit disperse trough the keyboard, maybe a better layout they could be great.

Nice work!

It's a nice dungeon crawler with nice dungeon design and it was definitely fun to play. But would be nice, if i don't have to change the screen resolution in order to play the game ;)

Nice game, playing area could be slightly large.

Had a lot of fun playing your game! 

Fun dungeon crawler, like other comments though it was diffult to see the character on the screen, so a higher resolution would be nice.

But I really enjoyed that, I'll keep a copy on my desktop and play it some more over the week!

I agree w/one of the comments regarding  the Camera being too far. Besides that, this was a neat little dungeon crawler. Had a blast playing through the mazes- great job! 

Oldschool dungeon crawler! Window was a little small for me.

The camera could be closer the the character, I like the feeling of those old text adventure, telling you your facing directions and all
