This game is made for minimalism :D

I really liked it! Having different options different settings, this is an awesome work! ⭐️

Thx!!! and good job on the jam ;)

Really nice game! The different classes, different objects, level generation, exploration, character naming... (with control+backspace working XD): you coded a lot of stuff (and not trivial ones)!  Obviously, it also fits very well the theme of the jam! 

Developer

Thanks ! ;)

It felt somewhat easy, thus not rewarding to explore.

I explored the first 2 levels thoroughly, then rushed the other levels, looking for the goal and defeating the boss without too much problem.

Also audio would improve the game.

I might've sounded negative, but I had fun playing the game. Good job!

I didn't playtest enough so difficulty balance might not be so good. Also will had sound effects after the jam. Thank you for advices.

Interesting take on text based RPG. Some sound would have added the missing "sparkle" to it!

Developer(+1)

Yes, i'll had 8bit sound effects ! thank you for the comment.

Developer

The enemies in this were so cute lol! Very cool game, I loved the gameplay but found it a bit hard to read the font. Maybe making everything bigger would improve that aspect a bit!

Developer

Thanks ! If you toggle full screen i think it is big enough. But you are the second person saying the font is not so readable, so i'll try to had a way to change it after the jam !

That was cool. Definitely brought me back to the DOS era. That was fun. 

Developer

Wow, this game was astounding, I LOVE this genre, hand down one of the best games submitted.

Developer

Thank you ! I like roguelikes too !

Submitted(+1)

Was very fun to play! It was very rewarding and exciting to successfully beat the boss and collect all the loot.  It was also fun to figure out which combinations of equipment were best.  I also like being able to name the character. Well done! The only thing I would want to add is some ambient musi.c 

Developer(+1)

Did not have time to make music. Think it also keep the "old school" vibe but i might had some 8 bit sound effects after the jam! Very happy that you had fun !!! =)

I've not really played a lot of rougelikes but this had me hooked. This is definitely one of the best game I've played so far. I had a blast with this 5/5.

Developer

Thanks much ! I'm glad you like it !

This was a lot of fun. I am a huge fan of roguelikes! The only constructive criticism that I can offer is that maybe use a different font? It was particularly difficult to read in menus. Other than that, I had fun!

Developer

I used an atari font cause i like it, but you are right, it is not so readable. I will try to add an option to choose font after the jam . Thank you !

I can't believe this was done in 5 days! Took me a few tries to figure things out, but was fun once my brain figured out the basics.

Developer(+2)

Thanks! As i just noticed, dont use "h" letter in your player name... or you will be stuck in the help menu ...
