  • fun little roguelite, the only real issue is it froze twice and crashed once, not sure if it is an issue on my end or not, tried in chrome and safari, but what I did play I liked, keep at it!

Tell us about your game!
While working on a transmutation experiment in your labratory, you notice an evil miasma has seeped in from outside. It causes a chemical explosion which splits you and your shadow in two! It appears the castle has been taken over by the evil Lich King! Delve deep into the castle keep, with your shadow following close behind, and save your laboratory–and by extension, the castle itself.

Really cool aesthetic and gameplay loop.  You guys did a great job!

Awesome work!
Very good game with smart powerups that compliment both player forms.
The moody art style looks stunning and fits the game very well.
The ghost enemy design! <3 The fact that you can see it clearly only when it is close is an awesome addition!

I had problems with UI scaling - could not see top and bottom part of the shop UI (eg. how many coins I had).
At times it was very hard to dodge enemy/enemy projectiles.
Also aiming is not 100% accurate.

Very solid entry!
Good job!

Developer

Thank you for your comment.  We did have a lot of UI problems on certain monitors and unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to test the scaling properly

Game keeps crashing I believe when ending the first level. The whole screen freezes.
Running it in the browser, Chrome on a Mac.
It looked promising. I'll try again on my PC later.

Thanks for the feedback, to be honest we hadn't much time to test it on different platforms.

Kind of like Tiny Rogues, I dig it! And wow, the hand-made assets are great! The levels look so polished, and the audio is literally perfect. 

I couldn't beat it, I'm sorry. :(  But that's a me problem not a game problem.

It can get easier when getting the right perks early. I'm team crossbow with multishot and reload on kills :p

Ty so muuuch! We hope to keep workin on it. It was super fun to work on learning audio mastering. I was extremely lucky finding these folks. Also! Your art is amazing Sleepy. If you every need a musician or sfx artist hit me up!!! Best of luck with this game jam! <3

Thank you! I will! The fact that you mastered your own audio is impressive as heck. I have recently learned what a rare skill that is in the game jam world, I hope you're sufficiently proud of yourself.
