First time I have ever got a top-hat in a dungeon. :) Solid entry.

I'd recommend adding some screenshots of gameplay, because there's some solid fun here, that the title screen doesn't convey! You have a decent mix of useful, harmful and silly special effects that go with the timer, and it's easy to get to grips with the mechanics. A map would have been useful, though.

Good work! Brings back old memories of Zelda:Link to the past. Fun, solid gameplay.

Nice, the controls felt a little sticky, but otherwise very fun!

The sound got a bit repetitive and occasionally I'd get ping-ponged between two rooms, but otherwise it's a lot of fun.

Wow,very polished and fun! Nice pixel art and music.

I really like your music, nice work! I wasn't able to find the hourglass but I had a good time.

Very nice graphics, the magic attack never worked on my keyboard (/) is not a button here.

Nice Game, made us want to play Sabre Wulf and Atic Atac

The concept was a lot of fun! Didn't really like the music choice, but everything else was great!

At first I thought "the theme implementation is meh" but after some runs I changed my mind to "this is actually quite an astute twist!"
I like the fact you sometimes have no choice but to run around, waiting for a more favorable ruleset to kick in. However I also think that frequent mana-deadlocks can get irritating (a slow 20%-capped mana regen would have prevented true deadlocks). Also, when you enter some rooms when the carpet is lava, you can't avoid taking damage. Speaking of lava, its sound effect is loud and grating.

But overall it's a good game with a cool twist and a nice level of polish! Congrats!

Good game! Classic Zelda-like fun, and the added zaniness of the special effects every ten seconds works really well. The music's a bit too hyper, though, if you ask me, and the lava sound is REALLY loud. But otherwise excellent!

Also: check-plus on your username. Bullwinkle FTW.

Nice Zelda-esque dungeons!

I like the graphics too.

Nice job!

A lot of fun to play. I love the random effects every 10 seconds. "The carpet is lava" is my favorite!

Great game. I loved the music.
