RoguePets by Lodugh

[raw]
made by Lodugh for LD 41 (JAM)

We made a Virtual Pet Roguelite! We think it actually got pretty good :).

Story: You've been trapped! You and your most beloved pet have been locked away in the deep dark depths of a dungeon and must break free. You must venture a realm where many before have perished and break the wretched curse set on the undead.RoguePet.gif EDIT:Fixed a bug with the boss room, new builds are up.

Cool concept, it does feel a little too difficult at the start though. Otherwise very well polished and generally quite pretty. Nice work, keep it up. :)

Cute! A pet roguelike... you might be on to something there! Either way the game is pretty fun, graphics good and some nice tunes to go with it. I had some trouble with the enemies being a bit unpredictable though. Maybe if they were slower, or couldn't move diagonally? Great game!

Awesome idea for a game, and well-executed too! My only complaint is that it's pretty difficult right off the bat.

The game is a bit difficult, true, but other than that I like the hit mechanic, my only suggestion would be to make the punch bigger. Good graphics style as well. Fine job!

Nice combination! It crashed twice on me and the text of the feed mechanic doesnt want to go away. Other than that I think this is quite good: it being difficult at the start is not a downside I think, as you're supposed to grow.

Great that you all appreciate it! :)
The difficulty really should work out when you try a few runs because you can get very strong with training and food.
@Sintel Which build did you use? Because you are the first one that reported crashes.

Good game with nice music. The combat was a little tricky at first, but after a few deaths it was fine. But the game kept crashing for me, so that made me quit.

I like this mix a lot. Training your pets, then sending them off to the dungeon to earn you money :D You should keep working on this! The graphics are really nice, and the music fits the mood. The start of the game is perhaps a bit too difficult, and I think this has to do with the way enemies move. You can't really predict where they're gonna go next, and how many times you need to hit them.

Maybe later on have early levels be shorter and easier, then slowly increase difficulty as days in the game go by or something similar. Overall, very good entry!

This was fun! I love rogue-likes (as you can tell from my game haha). Personally, I like the difficulty at the beginning, as rogue-likes tend to be like that, but if you're looking for a wider audience, maybe tone down the difficulty a bit.

Lots of fun.

This is really easy to pick up and play, and a good idea for a game. The art style is cute, the sound effects fit well, and the music is REALLY well done. I had no problem with the difficulty, but i can see why some people have issues with it. Most fun game iv'e played so far, awesome work!

One of the most fun game I played so far ! I loved the aesthetics, there is a great mood and the gameplay itself is super catchy and pretty tough but definitely engaging.
