What hurts the gameplay is a poor implementation of collisions, where player gets stuck in the walls all the time. For an action game like this, it really hurts the fun factor.\r\rThe graphics are nice, although the rooms could use a little bit of color. The lack of sound makes the game feel really unfinished, you should use some sort of sound generator like Bfxr next time to add at least some placeholder sounds.\r\rOverall, keep working the game and someday it might become a very fun Zelda clone!"},{"author_name":"Juin","author_uid":"51472","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 1:06pm","epoch":1440421260,"text":"The camera scroll speed when you change rooms felt really slow. And the game is really difficult, enemy bullets are really hard to avoid. Some easy melee enemy maybe at the start could have given it a good difficulty scale.

The collision with the walls seemed a bit odd, but otherwise it's a solid game, though admittedly lacking in variety (again, this might be because I didn't make it far enough)."},{"author_name":"jofra","author_uid":"56160","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 1:14pm","epoch":1440680940,"text":"The collision with the walls seemed a bit odd, i died because i got stuck in a wall :( but i liked the binding of isaac\/ zelda fell!\rgj"},{"author_name":"dregamr","author_uid":"57743","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 10:53pm","epoch":1440802080,"text":"-Not bad.

It became difficult fairly quickly which annoyed me cuz I was enjoying myself quite a bit. I replayed and killed one person on purpose to test if a grammar error would occur and it did; that being "killed 1 people that day". However, I don't mean to be a grammar nazi, and I very much enjoyed this game.
