Good work for this game ! It is interessant and made a rogue like with randomize creation of levels in a jam is very impressive in my opinion ! The theme is intelligently use with the water that is everywhere, the only thing I would like in the game is a visual or a sound effect where we are in the water and we lose a HP but it isn't very important compare to the rest of game that is really great

There is a sound effect for stepping into water (except for when water is generated on your square), but not for losing HP since they usually go hand in hand and adding another sfx for HP might cause the audio to be too crowded. Maybe a visual effect could be interesting... Still, thanks for playing!

Oh sorry I didn't hear the sound , my bad

nice job! it was a fun approach and I'd love to see what's next for y'all, if it's developing this or another project. After a few goes I also enjoyed breaking the game by playing around with the rooms.txt file, though still only managed to make it to level 12 or so by replacing everything in there with 5s... 😂

Developer

That's hilarious! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself haha!

I liked the art and music and was really interested in the idea of a no-combat rogue like. I did feel like I didn't have any interesting choices and whether I found the ladder in time was more about luck than something I did. Still, very promising start to an interesting idea. 

Developer

Thanks! Yea it does get really luck heavy once you get to the later levels but we just didn't have time to incorporate any "skill based" things... We had ideas floating around but just not enough time as we were picking up pygame for the first time!

Interesting! I made it to level 9 then it got too hard lol. Also there were random times I'd get stuck in a wall FYI

Developer

Yep... that is a bug that happens due to the input event detection being really wonky... pygame is weird haha. Was trying to find a fix but simply ran out of time. Thanks for playing!
