I honestly can't wait to play the full version of this. I made it all the way to the final boss, even if I wasn't able to defeat it. I don't know how many hits it takes to defeat him, but in terms of gameplay, this is probably my favorite game of the ones I've played so far.

Too many hits, haha


I think I programmed 60 without thinking about how long that takes. In the future, he'll definitely be nerfed. One idea I had was, every 20 hits, your health is restored, but I think it'd be best to simply decrease the hits it takes.

I played for like 10-15 mins and didn't find anything. I kept spamming the interact button but only found a few notes scattered around. Perhaps the level was too big or the notes were too sparse?


Great start!

Thanks for the feedback! Looking back, definitely could have made it more clear for the player. I ran out of time for true play testing, and since I have intimate knowledge of the layout, I didn't run into that issue, lol


Will definitely have my little brother playtest in the future (assuming he doesn't catch onto the fact I based the map off a previous D&D campaign I made)

3-4 rooms are inaccessible, so it's impossible to play through to the end. I love the concept, the art, the thematic development, the puzzle writing; it got me immersed and committed. I really wanted to save Ramsey's bf :( 

Lovely concept though, and I'd love to play a more complete version again.

Some rooms just don't exist yet, but it is playable all the way through. After collecting five tablets, you go to the healer and he'll give you the sixth tablet and a key to the final boss. That's my bad for not making it clearer, haha. I just ran out of time dealing with an ear infection and forgot to add the text saying "Looks like this room is blocked off".


That said, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it :3

We definitely are looking at fleshing it out, including better collision effects, a variety of enemies, and maybe twin-stick-shooter elements, at least for bosses.
