I absolutely understand that the time constraint did not allow for all the things I suggested to be implemented (and I for one would have no idea on how to actually implement them XD). After I wrote the review I played a little bit more and I had the sky change, and it was so very cool! It really gives an ominous vibe to it all!
I noticed that keeping the fire leveled all the way up is fundamental to going farther in the hordes and that some powers are better than others (automatic reload did it for me, it was essential), and that nails all the fundamentals of a very nice roguelike!
I still feel like there could be something that could be done to expand and "use" the atmosphere to your advantage and have something regarding exploring the environments in search for items (maybe while going to one bonfire to another? Gifts in excess could be used to light more bonfires?)
I feel like there is some genuine potential.
Very nicely done!!
