great entry. considering this is your first game. Loved the seemless transition between the two character models between the room and the dark world

Great game across the board! This would really shine with some kind of aoe spell with cooldown to get rid of the many spiders at some point. Overall though a very enjoyable experience. :)

Wow, this is a really solid entry! Very nice gameplay. I'd personally tone down the steepness of the difficulty increase a bit, it gets very hectic very quickly. With some cleaned up visuals and animations this could be a great finished product, well done!

Really really like it, no think to say except the room indication.

Fun little game. Great use of the theme and object.

My only feedback would was that I wish there was an indicator of which way home was. The first time I went too far out and couldn't get back, so after that, I just kept circling home. If I had a compass that pointed home, I might've ventured out more to explore.

Nice game though. I liked it a lot.

Thanks for the feedback!
I actually did want to add a compass, but didn't quite have the time to implement it before the deadline.
Glad you liked the game.

I really like this one, reminds me a little of Vampire Survivors. The monsters get overwhelming so fast. Great job on this one and best of luck.
