I gotta say, this is a pretty cool concept. A game where you forage for items and avoid monsters through randomly generated rooms in vein of the Binding of Isaac. I do have some critiques though.
The biggest one is that I'm not really sure what purpose the torches serve. I thought they would be used to ward off monsters, but they just walk past them. They lit up a little when I stand near them, but I didn't really stick around long enough to see if something changes. Not to mention that you don't replenish your torch supply between deaths, and monsters rarely drop them, so I don't really have that much opportunity to experiment with them. If you explained how they work and what buttons to push for them in game, I apologize for missing it. If it isn't there, I quick run down of what does what at the start of the game would be nice.
Another thing to note is the User Interface. It took me a few deaths to notice the health bar. Even though it seems everything the player need is on the hud, I rarely get a chance to see or examine them because I need to focus on avoiding monsters. It would be nice if the health gauge popped out more. Like it being bigger for example. And on a part of the screen that's easier to look to, like one of the top corners. Just keep in mind that the player has little time to look at the hud, so making it easier check in the midst of running would be nice.
Also, due to the random generated nature of the game, sometimes monsters would appear in front of me to no fault of my own. And thier fast speed and how much damage they deal sometimes leads to cheap deaths. Sometimes, my skills isn't a factor, it's my luck. And that could frustrate some players. Especially those who have particularly bad luck. I feel that should be balanced a little. Maybe the torches where implemented to alleviate that a little, but If I can't figure out how to use them, then how would other players fare? Not to mention the low drop rate of torches. I feel that adjustments can still be made to make the random generation less frustrating and more fun. It's exciting to not know what is next and having to react to it, but not having to ability to control your outcome can run thin after awhile.
And that's pretty much all I got so far. I like this game a lot! It has a good style and it's technically sounds. I like how respawns are quick and snappy and having intense music play when you are half way is a nice touch! Good job! And I look foword to seeing you improve in the future!
