How does your game fit the theme?
Inspired by dungeon crawlers, in this game you play as the Lich who built the dungeon, instead of those pesky greedy adventurers that come looking for treassure. I also played a bit with tropes, since you play with a villain and the story is a bit silly, I think that also matches with the theme as it is not what you would expect from your standard lich.

I was a bit confused trying to play this in a rush but I really love the pixel art of the goblins and the idea of building the dungeon does seem really fun! I just wish it had some SFX and BGM!

Developer

Thanks!

I like this concept for a game!

The pixelart graphics and animation are pretty cool!

And is not a big deal, but i think it would help a lot a little more feedback when selecting objects you are going to place.

Anyways, it has great potential :)

Very cool idea! Indeed very similar to my game. I really like your approach and execution. Great game! Also for some reason, the adventureres are 3 times as large as my monsters.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I've introduced some responsiveness at last minute to be able to upload it as web. But some things adjust with your screen size and some don't.  Glad you managed to enjoy it anyways!

Never enough games staring lich. Definitely has some potential, could see the dungeon being a kind of clockwork sort of thing, with the rooms physically descending into place, make the whole thing a great big doom machine. Good stuff.

Developer

Yes. A lot of things could be improved. I feel like this kind of concept has some potential as I've seen it a lot in the jam. Thanks for playing :3

Great concept but when I started it, the human ran out of the dungeon and went to the last room... The game could also use some music, but overall a fun game!

Developer

Yeah, there are a lot of bugs that I didn't have time to fix. Since submissions closed I've got softlocked about six times. Glad you enjoyed it, tho!

Hey we have the similar concept! Check it out!

Super neat take on the theme! It's great to watch all the little people run around and navigate the dungeon created for them. It was a little difficult to tell what I was doing right and wrong in terms of how I was gaining gold. But I got the hang of it and had a great time in this fun sandbox like game. Great game, great job!

I finished with over 19k gold, it's kind of easy to gain lots really quickly. But it's fun to see the little guys walk around the dungeon. Good job!

Developer

Yeah, it's not that hard. I'm 100% sure there is some exploit you can use to make much more gold, but 10k is more plausible on casual gameplay. Glad you enjoyed it!

Like the idea but maybe you could write in the description of the page how to play it controlls wise. It took me a long time to figure it out, in any case good job!

Developer

Thank you! Not my proudest UX design to be honest hehe. I added a brief description of the controls. Hope that helps
