Interesting idea! I think that instead of a discreet XP value that you have to reach each turn, it might be better to have a total XP that slowly builds - that way each level becomes a balancing act of how much you're willing to risk killing the hero to get them just a lil bit more buff for the showdown. As it stands, I could just chuck a couple axes down at the start of the level and be done - I didn't really see why I needed to use the other units. 

Interesting concept with cute monster sprites

Pretty cool concept. I can see this to be very enjoyable with more polish and right art assets.

Neat game! It would have been cool to have a toggle camera button that is either free roam or following the player, and maybe just a bit more balancing of the enemy types, but I like the whole premise of it!

This is a really neat idea.  I could see this being expanded to be a very interesting full game.  The pseudo push your luck aspects are cool.  Nice work.

I think I've seen many other games with this same interpretation of the theme, but I like how you made it a sort of balancing act where you had to level the player but also not kill them. Thing is I often just found myself spawning a few enemies until the player reached max exp, then waiting like 20 seconds for the level to finish. In that way it wasn't that fun, but I guess if you tried adding some more mechanics to this it could have some potential. Like the music and stuff too btw.

Awesome concept and cool design. I liked it :)

Really fun! Great monsters, great OOFs, and I love the Dungeon Cleared music. Nice job!

This is a fun concept. Good interpretation of the theme. I like it!

the part where you are trying to help the hero made it stand out from other games that tried this kind of concept and I should tell you, i really liked this design choice! very cool game man nice job.
