Repetitive, but still good considering time constraints. The boss made me say &quot;Ahhh! Boss!!!&quot;, so there was that."},{"author_name":"KickBack","author_uid":"34034","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:08pm","epoch":1398783780,"text":"Died at the boss (couldn't find a better strategy than just kiting him).

Gameplay was solid, art was beautiful, and music was very fitting.  The only complaint I had was the first level got stale really fast after fighting the boss and dying.  It would be better of the enemies sought you out rather than just waiting for you to come.  This feels like a solid start for a much bigger dungeon crawler.  Nice work!"},{"author_name":"Mr. Jif","author_uid":"19204","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:13pm","epoch":1398784080,"text":"Very good graphics and I enjoyed it!"},{"author_name":"acerunox","author_uid":"22654","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:17pm","epoch":1398784320,"text":"Fantastic game.

I think you guys need to disable mipmapping on your textures, as the game looked very blurry on my graphics card (example: http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Zp6lod0.png).
