Wish there was just a bit more feedback when I got hurt, as well as when I was bashing stuff with my sword, the particles are appreciated but I wish I could knock back the tougher enemies. The power ups are really good, from their names (*Summoning for Dummies made me chuckle*) to their effectiveness (the projectile friend was a real help).

Impressive that in the time given you were able to add such an epic intro sequence and so many upgrades and enemy variety. Overall the game feels pretty solid and polished.\n\nIf there's one thing I think the game would benefit from it would be having visual and audible feedback when the player is damaged. A split second red filter on the player texture and a sound effect would be the sort of thing that would make it more obvious when you get hit.","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1077935,"author_name":"TheSmellofOxygen","author_uid":"thesmellofoxygen","epoch":1714684545,"text":"Pretty cool game! I liked the art a lot. The skeletons, goo\/shoggoths, and floating eyes all stood out in particular. Nice that you even added footsteps. I really didn't like having to face enemies to attack them, as they're all quite fast and would very quickly kill you. It seemed like not everything reset on deaths. In particular, the sword attack range did not reset, so I racked up a very long swinging sword that insta-killed things by the end. A slight pause on opening chests would have been nice as well, and more damage feedback. Wasn't sure what the difference between stronger bones, more health, and more armor was either.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1077990,"author_name":"Tabera","author_uid":"tabera","epoch":1714691163,"text":"Nice game.

When I noticed it I instantly went to get all these buffs, so I can grow in power and yes, it was the right call, I defeated everything in my path and the final boss without any difficulties.\n\nWould love to have a pause on pickup, though, as it made you multi-task, while you have a juicy thing to pick up :)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1078242,"author_name":"digital bacon","author_uid":"digital-bacon","epoch":1714731419,"text":"Neat game.
