I don't know what to say about this. I am going to be honest that I didn't even play it myself, just watched someone stream it. I'm not sure if that made it MORE boring, or if that is just because the game is as basic as basic can be. I'm with Indrah below on that this feels like someone learning the engine, which is fantastic, but maybe a major contest like this isn't really the place to get your feet wet? If this is a dev who knows what they are doing, what were you thinking?

I think it's not surprising to say this was very unimpressive. Overall it plays like someone who just got the engine and is experimenting (that, or a troll...) but I'll do my bit as always.

  • Text really needs a second pass to fix some pretty terrible typos.
  • Story was nonexistent and hilariously out of touch if it thinks I cared by the end.  Nothing happens for 4 screens and suddenly some nonsense clichés popped up.
  • Mapping is just corridors.
  • Why even have chests? It's not like I can spend money, and you don't find any gear (might as well get rid of the equipment menu entirely).
  • Why do I have TP if none of my skills use it?
  • Why do my skills not have descriptions?
  • Why do I get any other skills? 
  • Combat is plain boring. the best I can say about it is that it is not hard.
  • What's the point of changing the form of the player if nothing internal changes? At least give me a new skill or something.

Overall this was real bland and not enjoyable. the only reason I got to the end is because it was so easy and I escaped every single encounter after the second screen. I hope this was a good learning experience (and that's completely valid!) but as a game on its own, it has nothing to help it.
