Simple concept pulled off well. I found some gems were inaccessible due to the procedural levels though and I'm one of those people that has to collect everything!!!"},{"author_name":"Heiky","author_uid":"90613","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 9:21am","epoch":1461143760,"text":"Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! \r<br\/>I first thought  diagonal movement could make the game too easy, then I made the controls more like the room layout, prioritizing the horizontal movement. This is something that I could improve in a later version =)"},{"author_name":"Heiky","author_uid":"90613","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 9:27am","epoch":1461144120,"text":"@rodobodolfo Me too, I always try to collect everything! Due to the time that I had to work on the procedural generation, I overlooked the Runes spawn system. Hopefully I can make it better later on."},{"author_name":"APantaloni","author_uid":"92148","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 10:35am","epoch":1461148200,"text":"Nice game! I love the look of the creatures.
