Nice art and music. Only complain is that there were a bit too many texts.
Fun little game with addictive game loop! Only thing I can say is that the font is a little hard to read for me.
pretty good, i did encounter a little issue. when you do the alter thing and the menu pops up you can still move and it wont go away until you go into a new room.
Oh, seems line I forgot to pause the PlayerMovementSystem… Will add it to the bug pile, thank you for reporting
Good job, I liked the pixel art style.
Lovely little Rogue-like game. Very satisfying to play and the restricted movement really works well for the low resolution, keeping the game nice and simple. I love the music. You really nailed the overly ornamented writing style of Lovecraft too. Nice job :)
What a great game! My only gripe is not being able to use the blood vendor guy more than once. Does it not want my blood? I have all the blood! The art is beautiful. Music is great. Tone and atmosphere are perfect. The block and attack mechanics along with the enemy variations switch up the gameplay so it doesn't feel mundane. Great job!
Man, really deep game! I like how you can either block or run away, and you need to balance this. It's like a 1D, better version of Zelda 2 :).
Really liked this. Well done!
Love your graphics, and I enjoyed the fighting with enemies though I feel like they could use a slight kickback when you damage them. Overall very enjoyable!
I saw your development in Discord. Cool game, cool idea, cool graphics. Rated.
Maybe you want to play mine?
Simple concept but very engaging game !
Very nice sprite art.
Nice mechanics. I like that you have not only health but also this bar for “endurance”. Game is very approachable and easy to get into.
The game killed my browser twice…
Are you using Firefox by any chance? The GWT backend seems to sometimes cause issues with that browser. Never happened on chrome - for me st least. I might release a downloadable version tho…
Yes, it was indeed in Firefox.
Simple but rewarding gameplay loop! I wouldn't mind it being a bit faster, but otherwise I really enjoyed it! Great work!
I liked this one, methodically figuring out how to beat each enemy was rewarding. I wish the progression was a little bit quicker. I played until I reached a door that wouldn't open on 2-1, so I'm assuming that was the end? It was right after the 2nd boss.
Hm, no, gettings stuck on a door seems like a bug. Players should be able to reach the win screen. I’ll check this out…
Very cool, beautiful graphics and sound. I could see this being very addicting as a fully fleshed out game.
Nice little game, although the smooth upscaled camera seems outside of the 64 pixels constaints to me. I just wished it was a little more action, a bit faster, but I loved the presentation
