I loved the fighting system in this game! It was really satisfying to use all the different mechanics/upgrades. However I was confused why the enemies just kept coming? I couldn't tell if it was a bug or they were going to end at some point. For some reason as soon as a rock-looking enemy popped up, I just died, even though I was at max HP. Aside from that, great job on this game! Your effort really shines through.

Each dungeon has 30 monsters, I think. After that, a 'King' monster shows up. I was working on a dungeon map where you walk around and enemy encounters would happen randomly, but I ran out of time and trashed it. I just put the whole dungeon in one encounter. It sounds like the rock enemy was a bug of some kind. I definitely will look at it later to try and recreate the problem. Thanks for playing it and giving me feedback!
Cute art style and enemy design. I didn't really understand the mechanics at first but once I got used to it I was blasting through the enemies. I figured Attack + Auto attack build is the way to go, with occasionally getting hp upgrades to heal.
thank you for the feedback! i sort of locked myself into the skill leveling system early in development. i'm really happy you could figured it out. i was certain people would give up on it fairly quick due to it's confusing nature. i play it with the same build actually. you can finish the dungeons in about 30 seconds that way.
I like the pixel art & the music included here. Also, the game has a pretty impressive scope for 4 days of development, including numerous monsters & 7 dungeons. The battle system was either broken or I did not understand it. It would just keep cycling through monsters until I died. I was also able to walk through the tree blocking the bridge, and head straight to the ending.
thank you for checking it out! i appreciate the feedback. i upgraded the project in the last minutes before the deadline to godot 4.3 so that it would run on the web. i think the changes to tile map layers messed with the collision on the tree. thanks for letting me know. sounds like a cool speed run hack.
I was a little confused about exactly how the battle system worked and which buttons do what, but it seems like a solid and original idea for a game. What stood out to me most was the music and creature designs.
thank you for your feedback! i really appreciate it. I wanted to make the battle system easier to understand, but I was already in too deep and couldn't really change anything. It's a good lesson for me to plan better at the start. the artsy side of game dev is definitely more enjoyable than bug hunting.
