I liked the idea, the minimalistic graphics and the music very much. However, I found that picking up the money spheres kind of feels unresponsive and gets a bit repetitive after a while. Maybe some power-ups or something similar? I also had a few crashes when I tried to enter the dungeon (Null Reference Exception). Fortunatly, the money I gathered so far was safed, but my hired heroes were not. I felt a bit bad for killing my entire adventure party every time I went into the dungeon, so maybe an exit-mechanic would be a nice thing to have.\nYou have created a very enjoyable game. With a bit of tweaking and polishing, I think it would even make a commercial one. \nOverall a good game.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld45\/173412-63aba243525b0cda04613cdac7fb9362.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/ben657.itch.io\/heroes-for-hire","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"56335","g_author":"1006080","g_event":"LD45","g_eventkey":"78","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"264502","g_title":"Heroes for Hire!","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"173412","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"173412","n_urlkey":"264502","n_parent":"159347","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/heroes-for-hire","n_slug":"heroes-for-hire","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"6080","n_created":"1570484756","n_modified":"1570487760","n_version":"517429","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":173412,"parent":159347,"superparent":9,"author":6080,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-10-07T22:28:54Z","created":"2019-10-07T21:45:56Z","modified":"2019-10-07T22:36:00Z","version":517429,"slug":"heroes-for-hire","name":"Heroes for Hire!","body":"## Intro\n\n** Heroes for hire is a dungeon crawler for those of us without an adventuring bone in our bodies. **\n\nHire your team of worthy adventurers and dive into the dungeon with them, have them do all the fighting and hard work whilst you do the money making and gather that sweet sweet gold!\n\n[Screenshot!](\/\/\/raw\/0c7\/1\/z\/28296.png)\n\n## How to play\n\nThe tutorial in-game explains it fairly well, but in the inn you can hire your team of heroes then jump into the dungeon.\nThere you can use **left click** to move your character.
