Good game. Sound design just superior. Love the increasing difficulty of boss rooms.
Thank you! I spent half my time on the audio so I'm glad you liked it :D I'm glad you got boss rooms that were increasingly more difficult...it was meant to be that way but sometimes RNG made it the opposite way.
Well paced and has a lot of personality. Enjoyed the play through. And your end screen was cool.
Thank you! The end screen started out as a mistake when I forgot to destroy a couple objects from the previous scene, but then I decided to keep it that way and design the end screen around it :)
The art and music in this are so charming.
Feels like the escape sequence at the end could be a bit more forgiving, especially the first room as it took me far too many attempts to get through.
Other than that, this was a fun playthrough and intriguing narrative.
Thanks! Yeah the escape sequence was a bit of an afterthought...I haven't learned how to properly program enemies so most of it was using the built in RNG, which is quite brutal XD. And originally I was gonna have a health bar/damage system but that also went out the window. I'll have to learn more about it for the next project. But I'm glad you enjoyed the art and music, they were kind of the focal point that inspired the rest of the game :D
The music box track especially was wonderful :)
wait, how did you manage to submit it after the deadline XD
