I wasn't expecting to see a game like this in this jam, but it was a pleasant surprise. The retro aesthetic stands out and immediately invokes nostalgia- feels like a game for an 80s micro or early PC. I'm not very good at dungeon crawlers, and I didn't get very far, but I had fun trying.

I think the one issue I had was that I really wanted to play with the keyboard alone- it just feels much more natural for a game like this- but doing so leaves you at a severe disadvantage because of how the shooting mechanics work.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the limited shooting controls were unfortunately a result of me running out of time (I threw in the ctrl+dir stuff because I figured there should be some way to shoot things from the keyboard). A better approach would probably be something where you press a key (f?) and then move the cursor with your keyboard, with it automatically targeting a nearby enemy / the last enemy you aimed at, whatever.

I do plan on polishing this up and certainly fixing the difficulty balance, hopefully in the near future. At that time I will try to get some decent keyboard controls for 100% keyboard usage in there.
