The Shrinking Dungeon by Tom-98

[raw]
made by Tom-98 for LD 42 (COMPO)

Make your way up out of the cursed wizard dungeon you were locked in! You can draw on the energy of the rooms to cast spells, but don't cast them too much - the rooms will shrink!

WASD to move, Mouse to shoot

I really like the concept of the player's attacks making the room smaller, and overall I think the game is pretty fun, if a little repetitive. If I had to pick a problem with it, I'd say running away from fights is too advantageous, since enemies have enough health that engaging with them is too risky and is only really worth doing if they're blocking your path.
I think the spells you can cast so far are cool, though the game could benefit from a few more (though I understand that's not much of an option due to the 48 hour time limit).
Overall I think there are definitely some cool ideas in this game, and it's constructed pretty well. I think if you put aspects of this game into a larger project (such as the room shrinking when the player acts), it would definitely make for an interesting game.

Liked camera and player movement mechanics

P.S. When i exit game, it crashes, though it doesnt really matter
