I think overall, a solid take on the dungeon idea, but in this instance, the player plays as the dungeon master trying to help the hero. I have played till floor 15, didn't get to reach floor 20 and above :(
Enjoyment wise, I think it requires strategically placing down monsters and other assets like health potions and coins. I really like how fast pace the game is after I put down these assets and the game scales in difficulty overtime, with GIGA SLIME GUY. The game really relies and based itself on RNG, and randomly generated levels. Would love to see some sort of unique level design, as like a milestone or challenge in a way. Like level 5, you're given specific units and the map contains lava. To make the game perhaps much more interesting and challenging.
Initially I find it very difficult to progress further as I can't play far in the game (I was till floor 3) due to the bug where if you placed down the card at a specific spots (example is right between the UI and the map, the card disappears and the game just get stuck there, with no way of moving forward. Implementing a restart button will be ideal.
I think the game really made a solid approach of this idea, compared to other similar dungeon games. I feel this game can have a lot of replayability and more room for content, like different enemies, traps, potions, weapons, etc. Very good take on the idea. I just wish there is an ending for being a good dungeon master as it does get quite repetitive at the end, of just trying to make sure the Hero survives and making it easier for the Hero. An ending to the game feels good.
Presentation wise I think it's very good. I think the art assets really represents the items very well and as what they are, although it does feel very generic to me (maybe cause it is a dungeon game). I definitely love the concept art as The GOOD DUNGEON MASTER and I love the art for GIGA SLIME. I think the music is good too, although there's not much that can be done with that XD
Overall a very good submission! Would play more of the game if the bugs in the game gets fixed!

I really thank you for your detailed feedbacks You give us a lot of important thinks to thing about.
Bugs apart, we have to improve the gameplay so it fells like less RNG and more strategic, and add a lot of content to increase variety. I really wanted to give ad end for the demo, but we had no time :(
This post will be in our feedback list for future implementations. Thx again bro, your help was really appreciated!!!
