I appreciate the feedback, the minimap is yet another thing that was being worked on during the jam but didn't quite squeak in before the jam deadline. There's lots more planned for future development :)

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback! We'll take that into account in the next build for sure. I know the portals system (room-to-room transition) could use some refinement, and with time we can work on it to make it a bit more intuitive. I very much appreciate you giving it a shot though, be sure to stay tuned for updates in the new year!

Hi. Thanks for the feedback!

Admittedly the risk vs. reward factor hasn't been quite developed to the degree we'd like yet, but hopefully we can push beyond that after the holidays are over and we have a little more free time. As health upgrades and powerups haven't been fully implemented yet, the sidestepping rooms become more of a barrier with no clear intent, but down the line these rooms will be filled with goodies that players can obtain if they wish to explore beyond the main game.
