Are you sure you've downloaded the correct version? I can replicate this only on the older one. Admittedly, it's easy to miss, because it's just a difference between v0.1 and  v1.0 at the end.

(edit: The older version should be disabled now.)

Yes, the texts are unfortunately unpolished. We barely managed to add them all and we didn't have time  to fix them up before the deadline.

And yes, we made a very simple powerpoint engine for the game. (If you're interested in some details: We designed a simple scene format on top of JSON, and then with the help of a few libraries, mainly SFML, we needed to make that scene format display something on screen.)

Thank you for the kind message! :) I've certainly learned my lesson for next time. I'm definitely not giving up, I had fun.

Yeah, I really didn't get the time management right, with a plethora of other mistakes along the way. My excuse is that this is my first time ever trying a Game Jam. In hindsight, I should've found a team. The controls aren't completely my work, I took a part of it from a really cool tutorial on YouTube. Honestly, I took a lot of stuff from that tutorial,  but then I stupidly spent a bunch of time rewriting everything to be "cleaner" (I didn't like that there was a lot of code duplication for different kinds of objects for example). At least I've managed to get some valuable lessons for next time.

Yeah, I really like it. It's nice and small, but it has everything necessary to make really cool games (plus it runs quite fast). I've used this Game Jam as an excuse to finally learn more about it (and Lua in general as well), but I've barely scratched the surface.

Thank you! :)

(Now that I've finished writing this wall of text I realize all this should've been in a devlog instead of a reply, apologies for that.)

Thank you for the feedback! :) I'm glad you liked it, even though it really was far from done. I didn't even manage to fit the jam theme in. The idea was for the player to reclaim their dungeon after it was cleared/taken over by adventurers, but oh well, I will hopefully finish it in the future. Your score is very good, but it's possible to get a few more coins. I might have hidden them a bit too well though. ;)
