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.

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...
