Focusing the game's design around the coin mechanic was a good way to tie everything together. I also like how you could avoid the enemies if you were clever enough as a way of saving money. The coin mechanic really makes you evaluate your priorities. One thing I didn't really understand was the damage upgrade. I upgraded my damage to be 4 per coin, but it still took 2 hits to kill 2hp enemies and 3 hits to kill 3hp enemies. Is that a bug or have I just misunderstood the mechanic? Anyway, that was a bit disappointing, since I spent a lot of coins on damage upgrades that didn't seem to work. That aside, I found this game to be a really cleverly designed experience that I had a lot of fun playing.

Almost everything about this game is great but I will focus on what is not int the comment :D The dead ends ( corridor with no room ) are my #1 reason for dying, I guess a generator with circular paths would make the game more enjoyable. The controller start button reboot the game which was unexpected. And sad. But probably convenient for debugging. If you ever think about working on this game again here's a features suggestion list : implement vision line ( vision seems op ), adding a sense monster carac (+2 step) not affectected by wall ( working like your current vision ). Being able to see asa red number how many total monsters are in the dungeon, would help to feel danger\/pressure. It would give some kind of feedback for investing in the teal carac.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"managore","author_uid":1003513,"time":"2019-04-29T11:54:59Z","epoch":1556538899,"modified":1556538899,"text":"@benjamin thanks for the detailed comment!

It still needs some work, but I already enjoy it a lot as is.\nSome critique:\n-Player seems to move too slow(is there a time delay before each tile movement?), I would speed it up somewhat. If the player wants to move slower they can just tap the movement keys to go one tile at a time, but when I'm holding the keys down, it is a bit irritating how slowly I move.\n-Combat was weird sometimes, it would be nice if I could shoot coins at them from a distance of 2 tiles\n-Of course add sound & music when you have time.\n-The HUD could be more intuitive, so you don't have to use text to show what each thing is. Honestly the only important HUD information that I would be interested in knowing is my health(coins) and my gems.\n\nThe graphics are simple in the best way. I like them and I like how the lighting works. Well done with the randomly generated levels. If you make any updates to this game, I want to be notified... the potential here is enormous.

What are they for, after all?
