cool game, nostalgia'd

even size of game is minimalistic :)
it is fun, it's quite hardcore, i wish there were more hearts or aditional charachter lives... or something to make it easier
overall gameplay was fun

Sadly crashes when I try to run it. No particularly useful information, just "do you want to send an error report to microsoft".

When I discovered you could knock the projectiles back to those diglets, things got much easier :D

Very nice entry. Simple yet effective and fun.

It's hard. I like Spectrum-ish graphics and sound. Very well done!

I couldn't get it to run for some reason. No error. Just didn't start.

The sound effects were a bit too loud and sharp for my ears.

After entering the 4th room I was swarmed by lots of enemies and died instantly, It was quite enjoyable up until then.

I really liked the animations and the extra touch of having shadows on the flying things which is easily forgotten.

As a whole; the game felt very polished and with more of a gradual learning curve it would be fun to play for a longer.

Good job!

Hard like a real crawler! Very good stuff

For anyone experiencing crashed, please make sure you have XNA 4.0 installed. I forgot to mention that it was a prerequisite. So now I have included the redistributable in the download :)

Hard and fun.

The audio was suitable to the style. 5/5
Overall; The controls were nice, everything looked good. 5/5

Pretty fun. The dungeon generation worked really well and the combat was pretty fun. The game is VERY hard though. In a lot of the rooms there are almost too many enemies for me to handle. This is of course a personal taste thing, but I would have liked it to start easier and then gotten harder as I went along (it may do this already, but i think it's very hard from the beginning). Other than that, the game is pretty fun and seems very polished.

Nice game.

A lot of the rooms feel big and empty. The game would probably feel a lot tighter if you reduced the resolution.

Very nice randomly generated dungeons. Cool game, but the room with 9 slimes is basically impossible

invaderjim 2013-04-29 20:29

I love everything about this game, even when I had 9 slimes and 2 bats on the first room :D Great job!

felix20 2013-04-29 20:31

This game is too good. I had to stop myself from playing before I wasted too much time.
The sounds are good, the art is good. The physics are spot on except one thing, the most annoying thing in the whole game.
The freakin bats don't bounce off you they just sit on your head and gnaw you to death and you can't hit them!!!!
Anyway, Awesome game, great job!
I wanted the attack powerup so bad, but kept getting the health powerup, if only the health powerup would heal you...

Enemies have too much HP for my tastes, but its a lot of fun either way.

pinkerator 2013-04-30 13:51

Bindings of Isaac, but way harder! I definitely like that!

multitude 2013-04-30 14:31

Technically this was pretty nice. not so much a isaac fan though. but kudos for the game :)

tifu 2013-05-02 00:47

Pretty tough, maybe too tough? Sometimes/frequently the second room I enter has 9 slimes and 4 bats with nothing to hide behind D:
Good game, way to go on getting roguelike zelda in such a short time!

merkoth 2013-05-04 01:16

Wow, very nice!

gmaker 2013-05-05 07:54

nice game! thanks, i feld and looked so good

ddionisio 2013-05-05 07:58

Pretty cool! I realized the game randomizes after I tried again, that's neat. Might need to tweak some rooms to allow the player a little breathing room when they enter, that's how I died twice. :P

eatenalive3 2013-05-05 17:29

Fun :P. Unfortunately the game slowed down occasionally for me, which led to my death twice :S. I got an attack powerup early on, which really helped me to get far :D

I liked the simplicity, but occasionally I'd swing in a direction that I thought was kind of odd.. Maybe a small radius around where you're swinging from might be good when attacking.

Loved it. Very fun and great use of the theme.

aestheticgamer 2013-05-20 03:01

Simple, to the point, was kind of addicting, and had fun with it.
