Thank you so much for the kind comment! Genuinely made me smile, and one of the nicest comments I've ever been given. This game was inspired a lot by the original Legend of Zelda, classic DnD, and then especially the game "Zork". If you're looking for similar gameplay, I think the Zork games would be right up your alley!! (Be warned though, they're text only.)
I'm really really happy this game struck a chord with you, and that it really clicked! I'm super shocked as well that you managed to make it so far without a weapon. Not making the weapon screen more apparent is one of the things I really regret not doing, so I'm glad you still had a blast :)
I have a total of three floors planned for this, but I set it up so level making is really easy once you have an idea. I want to add more content, and there a few items and weapons that didn't get seen in this release. As long as I have one person who's looking forward to it, I'll work on pushing out a new update!
Thank you for pointing out both of those bugs, the first one I hadn't thought of, and the second one is my fault haha.
Thank you so much for playing my game!
P.s. - Beyond the two armor guys was the secret ending, but I did design them to be a little overly difficult and only beatable with the hammer (The item that got deleted for you, sadly!!)
