Got the helmet once I decided to just run past the bats, attacking is kind of awkward. Nice music and graphics.

Graphics were very good, functional and polished. Music helped set the mood, too. I played it about 4 times, walked around and managed to find three chests in the dungeon, sometimes containing boots, chest plates, helmets, and shields. I tried killing enemies, but found it impossible to attack them without getting myself hurt. I kept searching for a weapon, it felt like the theme was "you only get 0 weapons". Fists are not very effective against bats, apparently. So I ended up just trying to dodge the bats. Eventually, I got bored and gave up. The walking speed was so slow, and every room seemed identical, so exploring didn't feel very satisfying.

Great art, nice sound. The attack command is not very responsive, making the gameplay a bit frustating, unfortunately.

Graphics where awesome. The best ever seen so far this LD. Killing enemy's is hard, walking trought doors didn't really work sometimes. Every room is the "same", it would be nice if there were decorations or something. I just dodged everyone. So it could be a little more polished up. I had fun thought. I didn't really get the theme.
Also, for the next time you distribute a game: You don't need to copy the program debug database files.

I would love to get your source code! Great job!

Well the graphics are great :D, was hard to enter a door, the game is very simple i feel like i needs more content like decorations, extra walls or something and needs more enemys but thats ok. But anyways great work n_n

Nice idea.
The game looks quite nice and the music is cool. You could have made attack radii more forgiving (greater for player, smaller for enemies), since it was really hard to kill an enemy.
All in all nice work :)

The graphics and sound are definitely about average for an LD game, but the game-play is very awkward. Attacking is possible, but ineffective as the enemies will hit you in the process. To fix that you could either have knocked the enemies back (so that they would not hit the player on a successful attack) or make the player's attack longer range with feedback showing the attack (as it was difficult to tell if I was even attacking).

First impression is very good with the nice sprite art but the game is rather difficult to play. Walk speed very slow, going through exits was awkward and the attack range is very small. Certainly stuff to build on though, a few tweaks away from being rather good I think!

it seems to have more potential, then actual gameplay. attacking without getting hit is hardly possible. overall, for something so pretty it's just not very fun. music was nice and the menu looks really professional though.

Awesome Graphics! Good Entry! Well done!

Nice art, the resolution came up a bit too big for me and the character is walking too slow(is there way to sprint, I didn't find any).
