What a fun idea! Loved the original Dragon Quest aesthetic that this game has. All the art looks consistently 8-bit, which is always a plus.
My main nitpick is that it takes a while to pick up the pace. It only gets challenging around lv. 60-70. Wonder if you would have this speed at, say, lv. 30?
The cheat sheet on the left is also a bit hard to read.
Nonetheless, had a blast playing! Got to lv. 89 ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
