This is great. You made something really unique (I'm a sucker for DRPGs). It's a really nice execution! IMO the rhythm gameplay is a tad unforgiving, but this is a really cool idea worth expanding in the future.

Developer

Hey really glad to hear it! You should definitely check out the Dungeon Crawler Jam 2025 coming up soon. I think I'm gonna expand on this there.

What a fantastic game!
I like the unique idea and the fun gameplay. 
The fighting is quite unforgiving, tho like you have to hit the key exactly on the right time.
I'll be trying to finish the whole game soon, I saw a big fella over the left of the map. I wanna fight them.

Developer

Thankyou! Yes there are a couple big fellas to fight.

Very fun game, good graphics and simple and addictive mechanics. I will definitely come back here to play a little more calmly later.

Wonderful! I had fun playing it a lot - maybe too much because I kinda lost track of how hard it became.

I really like the idea, mixing rpg and rythm game is a concept that i really like!
Also I really enjoy the art and the desing n of the map (nice fov effect!) and of the combat.

The combat needs you to be pixel perfect while pressing the button. I wish there was more margin for error.  I Can"t do more than 2 fight then i die :(

Or maybe i need to git gud :D

Nice job!

Developer

The battle system is programmed to have a 3 pixel window. I think it slightly favors pressing early rather than late. I wish I could go back and reduce the difficulty so people could see more of the game.


Thanks!

Really cool atmosphere! But its very hard to hit the buttons on time.

Developer

Yes, I think I should have included a difficulty slider. As I playtested, I was getting more and more comfortable with the timings, to the point it felt pretty easy - but that's of course not fair to new players.

The graphics and animations are simply amazing. You’ve created a great atmosphere with just a few pixels, and the lighting is fantastic. The game is really fun.

Developer

Thanks man!

This game has some promising features, but the level of precision required to hit the falling actions in combat is quite brutal. Nice intro and transitions, and the map looks decent, but I can't get too far with it. 

Developer

Great point, with all my playtesting, I think I got pretty good at the timings and didn't account for new players.
