This is a Ludum Dare game, so very broken. Please tell us any issues that we can fix.

We understand it's not high quality and that there are issues and we plan on fixing everything for you guys! If there are any issues at all, please let us know. One of the main issues that caused many problems was that we could not find a stable enough Repo to take in assets and code with everything else and not break. So we had to get creative with how we combined work. While we were doing that, many items broke and building the game with everything included was very difficult. so little updates to code like a proper death and some other level work was lost. As you can tell, textures for the torches were also lost. We apologise for those issues and will try to fix it as quickly as possible!

We really appreciate all the feedback and everyone who plays it!

@rudinskiz I don't know why itch.io was refusing download sources but I fixed it.

It's a bit buggy ?
I was at -175 HP ^^

Well the enemies are rocksteady and I can't understand how weapons works, but globally it works so, great job :)

It is very broken, but I know you guys are already aware of that! A cool experience I had from it was walking into a room and being swarmed by the enemies who proceeded to murder me.

I think one of the highest priority things to implement at the moment is an explanation for the combat system because I was not able to figure it out.

Alright,proper tutorials serves any game very well,but I cant tell how to attack,much less do anything with buttons other than WASD. Also,the health is very broken,as nothing happens when you get under 0 health. The number one thing I would recommend is to work on the essential mechanics before adding supplementary ones. For example:Different attack types = supplementary mechanic. Working health system = essential one.

I think there should be a bit more information about the controls. I mean it's cool that you can switch the color of your glowing energy, and I can see that it drains mana, upon using it... but it's not really effective against the blue enemies (maybe I used the wrong color?)

Yeah, you can't die in the game, which probably should be fixed at some point.

Running and jumping works, so, you got a running core of the game, I guess ;)

Well you obviously have some work to do here. A good start though. What was the Ancient Technology aspect here? I didn't get that..

The ancient technology aspect is that you are learning the ways of an ancient civilization's magicians
