Your illness will kill you soon, every movement hurts you, but an old shaman gave you hope.

Deep inside an old dungeon, a creature holds some powerful magic dust, able to cure every illness if brewed correctly.

Don't miss this last chance.

Quick and addictive gameplay. Cute and very nice graphics reminiscent of the first Zelda game.

I just want to play more of it, explore dungeons, kill monsters and try to heal the nameless warrior.

Nice little game. Really liked the sounds each thing made, not your typical chiptune SFX. Also unique and interesting combat mechanics, overall a nice entry! :slight_smile:

I loved the graphics (I like so much the pixel art and the color pallete). A great point for mi is the audio feedback on actions (very original :D) and the use of mouse or keyboard to play it. I only miss a button to exit ;)

Great work!

Nice game. I like the graphics, the sound and the final "cutscene" (although I would have liked to see one at the beginning too). One thing about the story and the mechanics is that if the character is dying from a disease, I feel like it doesn't make much sense that he heals himself after every level. I get that if you make only a global health bar you risk that dying is a bit too unforgiving if you force the player to start over, but it would be more connected to the story.

That's just my thought on the story and theme, since gameplay-wise your solution is probably better. Good job!

@pablodap @aj-weeks @ex3 @risingoat
Thank you all for your feedback :)

@sbeif Intro cutscene and some minor tweaks are in the making. About the global health bar, that was my initial idea, but would have taken some serious testing to really work fine. I'll probably implement it, though. Thank you for your time!

@christina-antoinette-neofotistou Thanks! Hope you like the next one too :D
