Hello! I really liked the game! I just didn't know at first that I had to click on the loot etc... Anyway that'sv a great job.

The game is so great that I just have it running in the background while I play other jam games! I loved all of the little mechanics that each item could get. I did run into a few bugs on the web version, mostly relating to dragging items out of the game frame, but otherwise it worked flawlessly. Extremely good submission!

Graphics and music were quite good! Slightly confused on how to get better gear though.

That was super fun, I played two long-ish runs and was pretty engaged! Best time was 302 seconds. Loop Hero inspiration is clear but still feels like its own thing with the unique pace of the walking/stopping/running. Awesome entry

Nice music, great graphics, and a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. Loved it!

This rocks, addictive af, and gathering the ever better loot feels very rewarding. I can see spending an hour or two in this game, easily. Imagine how many hours it could steal from me another three dev days down the line :D

Wow. This game is simply amazing, very nice to have the pause when hovering over items. Makes it a thousant times easier to understand the game. It kinda remind me of Loop Hero and I love it! Really a top game

Pixel art is really lovely here. Mechanically it's a great streamlining of sort of inventory min / maxing in RPGs, which I normally get tired of quite quickly but, as I say, it's been really nicely streamlined here to make it a lot of fun.

Spear does not attack towards closest enemy, which made it quite weak against rougues coming from all directions :pensive:

And it'll be better if the font can be colored!

Very impressive! Both art and gameplay are well-made. Can't wait for a full-developed version on mobile platform so that I can kill some time during subway :smile:

I could've kept playing for hours. Every time when i thought "oh this would be nice", seconds later i found out that you actually did this. Very good job

Fantastic game. The only nit picky thing I can see is font readability. Well done.

A pretty impressive game, it's hard to find anything to criticize about it. Art style, music, gameplay, pretty much everything was done well if not perfectly executed. If I had to mention something was that the gear comparison had me a bit confused at first(ground gear text on left and equipped gear on right) mainly since I didn't realize it was there at first so for at least a good few seconds I thought I kept getting the same equipment but it didn't take me long to notice so it's not at all a big deal just something worth noting.

At first I didn't know what the heck was "killing" me... thats the only thing i would change, to be more clear that you have to get to the end of the level before the time runs out.

But the game overall is incredibly well polished, pretty full of content with all the items and stats rpg like. loved it. You did an incredible job with this game.

Interesting game! I may need to replay this again sometime but it was fun surviving for 12 seconds.

One of the best graphics + soundtrack combination I saw today! The game is also simple and fun (definitely saw the loop hero influence there which is great), and personally I'd love to see more variety on the landscape in the future.

Graphics and music are very neat, loved theme. Gameplay is vampire survivor but with a bit of a twist, i liked it. Only complain is about ui wich is a bit complex and upgrad wich we are not sure if they are better or not :) (I was so sad to loose my bow u_u) Overall great job !

I've just spent too much time playing the game. The best LD50 entry for me so far. Would be great if the items were different colors based on it's class - common/epic/legendary, etc.

Neat combination of mechanics from a few different games that creates something unique. Plays very well already and has lots of potential if expanded upon.

This is a favorite! Very cute graphics and I like that there are quite some tactics to it as well.
