Wow! Actually a decent game on this jam. Can't believe I played this 2 hours 50 minutes. Completed all 100 floors.
Some constructive criticism:
- It wasn't clear from the start that I have an inventory besides what is shown at the bottom of the screen. Same for levels up
- It wasn't clear how to reassign items to slots. Just pressing the digit is very convinient but I think it should have been explicitly written somewhere
- Hero picks up useless items. He picks up items he already has and items which are worse by all parameters than what he has. Near the middle of the game this leads to the necessity to often check inventory and trash bad items.
- Fights get boring very fast. On level 29 I had a one on one fight with blue fire (I think that is water elemental). We caused each other 1 point of damage each turn. It was long boring fight. I tried to avoid fights as much as possible but this elemental just blocked my path.
- Attacks happen fast which is good, but spells happen very slowly which annoys because, as I mentioned fights take a long time.
- Savings. Does the game save itself?
I tried to clear the whole floor until I think floor #80-70. Then it started to get boring so I just started to run in the search of the stairs. Starting floor ~#60 at the beginning of each floor I used "Find Stairs" which speeded up the completion of the game immensely. As I already mentioned I avoided fights where possible and just ran in the direction of the stairs.
Overall, one of the best games of the jam.
