Thank you kindly! ^_^

I think  in terms of atmosphere you knocked it out of the park, Like Tim Burton meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid, I enjoyed the sound and graphics a lot.
The gameplay is serviceable but could use some extra spice as it didn't keep my attention for all that long.
Must admit though it is a charming little distraction, i'd love to see other games with this sort of visual flare! Good work.  :)

(also I apologise, for some reason the page bugged out and it sent my comment 3 times, I deleted the other two copies I hope I didn't spam ya!)

Thank you for the feedback! I would have loved to do a double-battles-Esque fight system, maybe if I do some post-jam upgrades i'll include it.
I definitely agree with you on the enemy levels in the next area, I wish I would have tweaked it from lv.1-3 stuff in the 2nd area to just lv.1-2 so it's not such a beginner's trap. Will definitely look into those chests post-jam!

Thanks once again! :)

Thank you, and yes I totally agree on the lack of direction; I wish I had put a sign or NPC advising you to grind a bit before leaving the initial area, but I think if I could go back and retweak it I would simply scale the level down in the next area from lv.1-3 to just lv1-2.
Thanks for the review! :)

Some quick updates! All visual upgrades. The textures used for the tilesets were previously scaled 2x2. I had my reasons, but I ultimately think it's best to have the tilesets match the character's ratio, I also made the tilesets darker to give a more 'glowy' vibe. I think it looks way more natural, though I must admit, I've gotten so used to the large-scaled blocks that it's still taking some time to grow on me. 

Also an animated icon now appears when standing in front of interactive objects!

Welp, it's been so long since I made a devlog the old one got archived. But I'm finally back with a pretty sweet new development that's made a lot more work for myself! I'll be sure to post more even if they updates are less significant! But I'm excited to introduce to you.... TUNNELS!

Dungeon Dot Ruby is a remake of an old Flash Game I made in 2013 jam packed with revamped assets, new levels, weapons and other extras! At this point, I am primarily focusing on the main game, but there's a ton of stuff coming our way! It is a relatively small game, and it being a remake of a flash game, I want it to retain its 'smallness' and to a degree, its 'flash-game-weirdness.' I have more than what's shown in this video done, but this section of the game is almost entirely finished, so I figured i'd show it off! Let me know what you think!

I will be sure to update this forum with more goodies in the future! :)

Unfortunately a big setback happened irl and it took much time away from it, I had to leave the jam since I would never make the date :(
I haven't abandoned the project, but I will have to release it separate from the game jam, it's called 'Sparking! Ezme'
I'll be sure to reply to you with a link to it (probably gonna put it on itch.io and/or Newgrounds when it is complete! :)

edit: on that note, since I no longer am limited by a date, I will probably take the extra time make things look prettier than they would have. I'm not gonna add any extra content though, I still plan on keeping the game short/simple like it would have been so it doesn't lose that 'small game' integrity.

It's gonna be a small game but a lot of passion went into our magical girl's sprite and official artwork! :)

it's a compressed version, the raw is huge:
