But the combat system is very unsatisfying and rough around the edges. Theres no clear hit feedback or any other visual hints when hitting enemies. Also, the incorporation of the theme did not help the fun I had with the game. Just replacing coins with hp often breaks the balance of these kinds of games.

The story setup works and the gameplay is fairly enjoyable despite its simplicity.\n\nMy main criticisms are:\n1. It feels like there's too much of a variation in power between the different types of weapons - the crossbows (or the couple I got, at least) are orders of magnitude less powerful than the swords, making the game feel impossible whenever I got one.\n2. You don't have enough time after entering a room to really get a sense of what dangers lurk in said room. This can lead to some unfair deaths, since you don't have the time to react to the thing that killed you.\n\nDespite those, I enjoyed my time with this!

It feels like an old 8 bit game.  I really like the Gachapons, but wished the fire rate and damage were more significant.  There were a lot of situations were the AI got stuck on a bit of the level and I could just plink away at them, this would take 10-20 seconds per enemy.  This seems a bit excessive.

The difference between the sound of attack and the animation felt pretty weird. Also, the only time I reached the final boss (I wish I could have killed it in the first room)was without buying any upgrades. The balls moved way to fast, they were clearly the dangerous objects (and the skeletons) because the enemies were in general pretty slow or easy to hit because they were stuck.

Getting a random weapon each time was really exciting and fun. One thing I noticed is that sometimes I'd immediately take damage from an enemy upon entering a room, which was frustrating.
