I got to this screen within 5 seconds of starting your game and it really made me laugh. Absolutely hilarious.
Hey, I think the pixel art is fantastic and I like the music and Sound Effects and the random generation seems well implemented and there's quite a lot of good stuff in this package. But I played several more times after this, and I never got further than maybe half a dozen screens in. Maybe 30 seconds to a minute per pop.
It's just tuned too difficult, and the player doesn't have the power to make it any easier through strategy or practice or paying attention, at least not that I could see in the portion I played. Maybe a limited number of rerolls the player can utilize? Extra dice as a resource that can be rolled when the situation demands? Gear upgrades that carry over between runs?
It needs something. But I still enjoyed it and I could feel that it was a labor of love for you based on the description. I just think it's need a little touch to modernize it.
I hope this isn't too harsh. But I didn't just wanna blow smoke, you know? Thanks for the game.
