WOOHOO!!! Love me a roguelike!!! great job on all the enemy AI. My one criticism is the wildly changing FOV, doesn't bother some people but it gives me headaches when the FOV changes so constantly and so severely. Great job, though, very impressive!

The FOV distortion was definitely something I wasn't sure about adding but decided to in the end to make the gameplay feel more dynamic and fast. Greatly reduced it now (basically only starts to warp a bit when dashing and quickfalling) and also added some new content if you want to check it out

sure, I'll try it out tonight! Also- my game has a decent amount of FOV distortion as well, but it's a slow slow throb that kinda just barely adds to the feeling of discomfort. When thinking of camera shake, FOV change, and post-process effects, I've adopted a "less is more" mentality with it. Going overboard with either of those 3 things could easily make your game disorienting and unpleasant to look at. I usually start with a small amount that is barely noticeable and tweak it right up to the point where the player may not notice it, but it still adds to the effect of whatever you're trying to sell in your game- so if absurdity is something you want to sell, then an absurd amount of camera shake is warranted!

On this, I did notice your camera shake, and I did appreciate the subtlety of it!

OMG!!!!! DETROIT REFERENCE!!!!!!!!!

The boss is epic but is very hard, I could not beat it. Enemies touch me with easily even with speed upgrades

Cool game though

it was pretty hard to see enemies coming because of the dark, other than that it was incredible!
