Sadly I was unable to beat it, but I enjoyed playing what I did! I really like the look and feel of this, the sounds are great, the monsters really cool, and the CRT filter is quite nice! I would have liked a couple more choices, whether it was in direction of exploring (felt pretty linear), or upgrading options, or pretty much anything =).

I spent way too much time on the graphics and audio, taking up most of the jam on those, and then I didn't have time or energy to implement the depth in the battle system that I had thought about initially. Though even with those ideas there wouldn't have been upgrades or builds to choose from, which is something that I've been thinking about implementing in later versions of the concept.
Btw the CRT / Scanline filter is literally just a dark line -sprite, drawn across the screen several times (tiled) and then you can from the ESC menu adjust its intensity (basically just changing the alpha of it by .1 ) so it's actually not a filter, just a sprite. :'D It just works!
Thank you for playing!
