The concept for this game is really good! For a jam game, this is really enjoyable.. Nice work!

Wow, this is a super impressive game, the core is super satisfying and the presentation is top notch. I particularly liked the music, the boss animations and the shopkeeper art!

The one thing that seems missing to me is the balance of the stronger cards, because I never neeeded to use my lower value cards after getting something stronger. But that certainly didn't affect my enjoyment of the game, absolutely wonderful game, super impressive!

I really love the aesthetics of this game, really retro and oldschool, felt like I was playing some old dungeon crawler from Sega's Master System. The music is really good as well, it made me vibe in a kind of a thriller while exploring the dunegon and aslo made me feel in danger while battling the boss.

Very well polished too. Good work!

Clearly a lot of work has gone into this and its a nicely polished result.  The card collecting mechanic, and the carry mechanic is a little undermined by the fact that the cards seem it be equal in cost to use and seem to have infinite uses.  A couple of tweaks will really make this game shine.

It's always nice to see a fellow systematic game in this jam. The style is consistent, and the visual and audio quality are good.

Some critique on the design: It seems like once I got a good attack card, I can safely discard/sell the rest, since there isn't a limitation on how often a card can be used. Because of this, finding a new card feels less consequential.

After I find the boss, the game won't let me explore anymore. This feels unintuitive, since I would really want to explore more rooms to get more powerful cards and buy more upgrades to prepare for the bossfight. And because I don't have any control on when to find to boss, it also feels arbitrary. (Although I don't know if the player will always find the boss after a certain number of rooms; if that's the case, it will be nice to have a counter to communicate that)

Some nitpick: Seems like the blood elixir is used for healing, but the text on the card reads "DMG: 9d4". That really throws me off.

But overall great work!

After getting a couple wins under my belt, I can say that this game has legs. The amount of game implemented in 2 days is incredible. And what is there is really fun and shows a lot of potential. I think we share a similar vision in the vibe for our games so that's nice to see someone explore a similar space to you. Balance is really difficult to do in a jam and for the runs I did at least, it felt very good. Music and sound all felt really fitting for the game and overall created a great experience.

Good job.

I love the retro vibe of this game. Such a polished game for a game jam game. Nice work!

The art looks good. The concept is well made and the music fits. After I died I couldnt restart it though. Good job
