Nice game, even though you couldn't finish it. I searched minutes before reading your description, but that is my mistake. The sound & art design was great, the controls felt a bit random, why is up/down bound to the arrow keys and left/right to A/D. It would have been a great game if it was finished, but the sound and art design makes it good without real gameplay yet. I really look forward to you adding gameplay to this game.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! The game was originally a side-scroller but it seemed boring picking up the scrap along a straight line - that's why the controls are a bit wonky, it used to just be WASD.
We may switch it back to 2D. That would help with the framerate, make combat more feasible, but would also change the genre significantly by eliminating the exploration mechanics.
