hmm. i can't tell if this is unforgiving or i'm just not understanding it. i haven't found any way to refill health or magic, which means that i want to play conservatively (or i'll die, since i can't seem to save either?), and i have virtually no offensive power once i've used up my one or two fireballs. that leaves me trying to pick up vegetables and chuck them around with kinda slow and icy movement, which is probably why i died to an adventurer shortly after finally finding an armor refill statue.
i also didn't realize at first that i could store the items i was holding, since holding them with my sprite usually means they're not in my inventory; oops
that said, there are a lot of good ideas here and some cool exploration of them. i LOVE that the map is randomized, that there are retro-style respawns when you get far enough away from a room, and that i can pick up pretty much anything. the sphinx riddles are really charming too. i can't believe you did so much with a handful of low-level adventure game critters and three vegetables
i like what you came up with here! execution is a tad rough is all
