It's an achievement in itself. Congratulations! You are crazy (in a good way)! Obviously, the game is rough around the edges but looks promising. For me, the showstopper was the very long attack recharge. The graphics are charming and have an early PC 3D games vibe, which makes it stand apart from retro pixel art or PSX-style graphics.
