Very strong entry. I love the movement (Especially using the WASDQE like a dungeon crawler) and the dithered lighting/aesthetics of it all, it looks amazing. I didn't get very far on my first few runs, but I'm going to try a few more times as I'd like to see what else it has to offer (I really wish I'd found the second rune I needed for healing!). I also appreciate the variety of tiles, the enemies being half submerged in the water was a nice touch.
Massive props on the detailed itch page as well, lots of good lore and also a very robust explanation of the different systems which means I knew what was what going in, especially the magic.
Really my only criticism is the UI. The status info overlaps the spell screen a bit and I find the font a bit hard to read with my boomer eyes.
