The gameplay is very barebones but it's a good foundation for a full game. From here you can add new weapons, abilities, enemy types, world hazards.\n\nI didn't like the traps though, it was kind of hard to tell when they would do damage and when they killed me it felt kind of cheap. It might just be that the animation for when its on looks too similar to when its off","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":657975,"author_name":"LDJam user 245161","author_uid":"245161","epoch":1619585252,"text":"Nice!

I found the enemies a bit challenging to kill and just ran through for my high score of 3, I assume it won't be the highest here :)\n\nThere were three things I *really* wanted while playing this game that your design seems to be screaming for. 1) It would be great to hold left-click to charge and release to increase attack damage, 2) it would be cool if the enemies damaged each other so you could bait them,  and 3) the game feels like a rhythm game's cousin. I bet you could sync the enemies attacks to an onTick() that follows a beat pattern and have a really pleasant audio system.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":677942,"author_name":"miej","author_uid":"miej","epoch":1619768060,"text":"the process of attacking was slow enough compared to the character\/enemy movement that i found it a lot more effective to just ignore the ability to attack and focus on just finding the exit, which made it more of a maze game with some obstacles than an action-oriented game.  that said, solid submission, and nice work on the procedural generation!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":678537,"author_name":"Substain","author_uid":"substain","epoch":1619777989,"text":"The graphics were cool, but felt like the music did not match the mood very good.
