Love the 2D art!p
The concept of the game is interesting, but the demo felt too short to start enjoying it
I feel like as long as you move fast, you win
Also, the boosts don't seem very balanced (I first started maxing the strength, but didn't feel like it was doing much, and then maxed the hp, +5 is op)

absolutely love the art! Found myself wanting to play more levels than available, but one thing that I did feel a little spun by -- as far as I could tell, the perma-fly buff didnt seem to let me do anything different (was expecting maybe I could fly over gaps for instance?) It also made me wonder if maybe I could normally do a single gap and the flying let me do multiple (which also could not, as far as I could tell)

Great work, and I might just have to play a few more times -- even the upgrade icons are too cute ! :)

AMAZING art and character designs and palettes. Every frame of the game was so lovely, even when I was getting melted alive or bodied by archers. Loved the music and SFX too. I really love the fast-paced sort-of-real-time sort-of-turn-based roguelite-ish SRPG gameplay. The design choice of incentivizing taking your time (via being greedy and getting better upgrades) while simultaneously penalizing it through increasing lethal stage hazards the longer you take was well-thought-out and compelling.

I did encounter a few issues while playing (apologies for the wall of text; I figure it would potentially be helpful for bug testing):

I beat the game on my first try just running straight at enemies (probably got lucky) and picking max HP upgrades since they heal you a bit. When I clicked Retry after the successful escape screen, I still had my stats and gems from before (if this is intentional, I like it, but it would probably be good to be able to start a new game too) and wanted to make an OP greedy dragon. But when I picked the flight upgrade, it didn't do anything and I still couldn't move over the small lava tiles.

I also got softlocked by lava a few times (retrying a few times fixed it) and once I got softlocked because my dragon spawned at the bottom of a one-tile column in between the lava and the void, where the only way to the right was several tiles above me so I couldn't make it there in time. I don't remember how I fixed this actually but I did manage to progress after a bit. Probably game overing enough times.

I am not completely sure what the offense upgrade does as all the enemies seemed to die in one hit. I'm also not sure what the left click does since nothing seemed interactable while I was playing (don't underestimate how bad I am at games so these all could 100% be me).

All in all I played through several times (and game overed just as many times); there's something therapeutic about these bite-sized levels :) Great work!

The art style is very cool with vibrant colors, charming character designs that instantly captivate me. Some minor issues, such as the game menu extending beyond the play area, but were easily fixed by switching to fullscreen mode. Although there was a small glitch with the game over screen not appearing on the first try, a simple browser refresh quickly resolved the issue, allowing for seamless gameplay thereafter.

The game is pretty fast-paced enhanced by seemingly randomly generated levels, offers exciting and varied playthroughs. The difficulty in the random generated levels does add to the game's depth, encouraging strategic thinking and adaptation. The game provides a engaging experience that showcases both creativity and skillful execution. Great job!

This is more of a technical feedback report:

First playthrough I got a soft lock, where I moved up and an enemy also moved left at the same time into the same square. Then we were overlapping and I couldn't move or progress the game.

Second playthrough I got a bit further then got stuck starting a level with 2/15 hp and unable to progress past the archers. Is there any way to dodge attacks consistently? I think it's impossible to go further. Every time I retry, I start with 2/15 hp.

Even quitting the game didn't fix it. I reset with 2/15 hp and without even pressing any keys, something would happen and I'd instantly die with -5/15 hp. Refreshing the browser didn't fix it either. Sometimes I started a game with a column of lava ahead of me too and nowhere to move. I tried to gather some better information but I couldn't recreate the bugs consistently. Sometimes it would happen, other times it would reset correctly. Sorry I can't be much more help.

But the art was really nice! I did like the concept of the game too, it was just not really possible to experience it smoothly in my playthrough. I liked all the upgrades and variety you implemented. The artwork in the sprites and the UI icons was lovely. Nice work! Just unfortunate the bugs got in the way of my experience.
