Did you work in a team?
Solo dev. Had lots of fun as always!
Was the resolution a challenge?
Getting the pixel art to look decent was hard so I had to spend extra time on the artwork.
What did you learn?
I spent more time adding polish, hidden things for the player to find and extra content. Having two weeks was helpful in this. Normally I'd only have time for a bare-bones game in a shorter game-jam.

Neat little game. Loved the visuals and good variation of traps and monsters!
great pixel art (as always in your games) and classic solid game play
Good stuff. Great art. Is there a way to destroy the enemy spawners? Music is good, but I didn't think it fit the theme well... very good job overall, tho!
Very awesome! Love the Art especially!
I love pixel art dungeon crawlers and this one was no exception. Supremely polished and I really had no idea you could fit a game like this into 64x64 and still have it readable. 11/10
Really polished looking game!
I've played this a couple of times since it was posted, it's a good time. The pixelwork is fantastic, the music is A+, and I'm going to come back because I've gotten ladder ending each time and have only found 2 of 4 secrets. They can't evade me forever! Well done.
Fun and simple gameplay. I liked the trap designs, especially the flame one. I felt like it took me a while to realize that the health and food were constantly draining, and tied together. Overall, it was a fun experience. I had a good laugh at my surprise death by Kraken!
Exciting gameplay! Done it as wizard. It looks like speed is the key, should try to complete without kills.
Fantastic pixel art, music, and gameplay. Found all the secrets and made it out in one piece - and had a lot of fun while doing so. Nice job!
Really fun! Great job! The shader work was great as well.
Great art and music. Nice pace to the gameplay.
Had a bit of issues knowing where I had already been, but it worked out in the end. :)
This is a late cousin to Gauntlet! Nice and balanced dungeon crawling experience, great job!
Super cool! I thought “wow this guy knows how to build a good exploration experience”, and then I had a look at your itch profile, and it seems like you have countless dungeon games!
Very nice job!
Nice work. I played as the ranger and got the ladder ending :)
Sweet Gauntlet vibes; love it!
Visually stunning! I got a little lost though and wasnt entirely sure what the goal was. I never really knew where I was or where I wanted to be going, so I just kept going forward and eventually stumbled on the ladder!
Really nice game, loved it, good controls, very good visuals. Well done.
Incredible. Catchy, frantic music. Good controls. My only real criticism is that the shop menu hides your health/food meters. I got the ladder ending and no secrets, so I might have to come back to this after rating is over.
A fun little dungeon crawler, the visuals are top notch. The tiles and animations are clean, and the lighting effects work really well. The music absolutely rips, it is frantic like Knower or something along those lines, really excellent. I stumbled my way into the "cheat room" so I may have had an unfair advantage at the start...
