Given the title, I figured this must be a sequel, so I checked your game history. I love the dedication to the Jeffers saga, haha :)\n\n### What I liked\n* Great sprites. The main character has a ton of personality\n* Fun dungeon defense concept\n\n### What I might change\n* The gameplay felt a little grindy to me. Maybe you could use different attacks or add a skill and\/or puzzle element to it?\n* Your sound effects were hilarious, but I got a little creeped out by all the grunts and \"that's the sausage\" being whispered in my ear :laughing: \n\nCongrats on completing a game and thank you for sharing!","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"niborious","author_uid":"1003511","time":"2020-04-21T04:56:01Z","epoch":1587444961,"modified":1587444961,"text":"I love the art and audio lol.\n\nThe game was way too big for my screen, had to zoom out my browser a lot.\nThe plain text UI all over the screen was a bit hard to parse.\nI'm not really sure how to have an impact on the keep it alive mechanics?\n\n\nSorry to hear about your job, good luck in the future!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Furtive Pygmy","author_uid":"1102936","time":"2020-04-21T05:21:50Z","epoch":1587446510,"modified":1587446510,"text":"@willjardine @gagouman Thanks for the feedback and playing!\n\n@joe-cowman Thanks for the advice and playing! I got in a bit over my head on this jam, realised I didn't have enough time to flesh out a lot of the mechanics so had to ship it with some things I wish I'd done more with.  \n  \n@niborious Thanks for playing. I hear you on those points, ran out of time so had to just get it published without attempting to make the UX a bit better.

In terms of gameplay, it was a bit bland, it would be nice if you could you use an ability or something, or if there was some variety other than standing at the door punching the same guy walking through over and over. Graphics were good, sound was alright, though there was something off about it... Perhaps it was the man whispering \"That's the sausage!\" in my ear all the time? Either way this was a very surreal experience that just needed a bit more interaction gameplay wise.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lucidus","author_uid":"1124552","time":"2020-04-21T09:02:40Z","epoch":1587459760,"modified":1587459760,"text":"Sausaged many times xD\nLike the graphics!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"cheesepencil","author_uid":"1143012","time":"2020-04-21T19:31:45Z","epoch":1587497505,"modified":1587497505,"text":"Jeffers is adorable and I wish I could keep him alive longer!

It was definitely lacking in the gameplay area, it ended up being more of a learning how to code a turn-based system than a game in the end. I wanted to add a lot more, but ran out of time.  \n  \n@lucidus Thanks for playing and the kind words.\n\n@cheesepencil Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I didn't get to playtest it at all :( The only way to get stronger is to gain levels and increase power, which is very random. Health is a +10 in some level ups, should have replenished though and returning items gets you +3 hp. Really would have liked to be able to give it more playtesting time though.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"VerttiXPertti","author_uid":"1182960","time":"2020-04-21T21:12:42Z","epoch":1587503562,"modified":1587503562,"text":"omg i got sausaged","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JacksGamesSucks","author_uid":"1004303","time":"2020-04-21T21:19:31Z","epoch":1587503971,"modified":1587503971,"text":"\"got sausaged\" made my day (night) - funny game, i enjoyed it :) good job","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"dvdfu","author_uid":"1004910","time":"2020-04-21T21:21:46Z","epoch":1587504106,"modified":1587504106,"text":"Awesome compo entry!

I think I found a bug where if you kill enemies and they die in front of the door, you can't feed the fire and regenerate health.
