Very impressive game!

The controls and gameplay are great. I really like that you get a choice between melee and ranged, and that the dash is properly interwoven with the gameplay. The enemies and environment can both pose a really decent challenge, yet nothing is unfair at any point.

Amazing artstyle! I'd play this for the art alone. Besides looking very GB-like, it has a great, whimsical attitude to it. Wow.

The music is great. Some tunes stand out to the listener more than others, but that's ok. It did its job well, and helped communicate the setting.

Huge level of replayability. The roguelike aspect of the game isn't overbearing at all, and only enhances enjoyment of the game. Because of the game's whimsical personality it makes it so that traversing what are essentially very similar rooms doesn't get old at any point.

There's even a little story! It's adorable, I love it.


Overall, congratulations on this entry. Maybe I'm biased because I love Japanese and Asian culture, but I loved the game!

Thanks so, so much for the detailed feedback!

I don't know what else to reply since you were very kind with your compliments, other than we appreciate you taking the time to go through our game and think about it.

We'd love to hear what else you'd like to see in the game, perhaps weapon or enemy suggestions?

Again, thanks a lot!

No problem at all!

I do think that if you were to continue working on the game, more enemy and weapon types could indeed benefit it. Something that comes to mind is stuff I've seen in Zelda and similar games: enemies that shoot strictly diagonally, tanky but slow enemies, enemies with almost "hitscan" sniper-like attacks, etc. Regarding weapons, they should interact with those new situations the extre enemies would bring to the table. For example, regarding the hypothetical tanky enemy, there could be a really powerful weapon with a long delay to it that nevertheless kills almost anything in one hit? And for multiple weak enemies, something like an onmyodo spell that functions as an AOE blast? Something along those lines.

Additionally, more styles of traps such as rooms that close in on the player and floor tiles that break when you walk over them.

I feel like it might be good to take inspiration from The Binding of Isaac and Zelda when it comes to your game. Good luck!
