Love the micro-graphics!
Absolutely love the Non-Euclidean level layout :) Frustrated by a Contact with the enemy (fast moving screen 20/30 or so) taking away 6 hearts in one go. I got soooo far. OK one more try :p
This was really fun. Very nicely made.
Pretty solid action-roguelike! Would've loved to see more level variations, but what's there is tight and fun to play. I liked the player's speed and projectile speed, everything felt just right.
:( cant seem to unzip it
The difficulty and the graphics style remind me of old roguelikes like NetHack and Angband, which is of course a bonus. The enemies fire very quickly after they see you and I found it quite difficult to deal with.
Cool game with a good use of the theme.
Fun game, but a bit hard if you touch a bad guy you moast likly die.
Wow this is very cool, but I got this error message when I died, thought you may wanted to know http://puu.sh/dnE0T/aa3a50f239.png
That's quite cute.
Would be great to see it expanded.
Playing with a controller this was actually very fun! The mechanics where really polished and matched the difficulty level very good. After 20 rooms I felt I wanted some new challenges or some kind of award/power-up. Really nice work!
I really, really like this game! The relevance to the theme was a little unclear at first before I realized exactly what was happening with the rooms of the dungeon. Then I thought it was pretty clever.
I couldn't figure out the purpose of the 2 non-heart collectibles, though. Other than that, highly enjoyable! It got intense at the end as I knew I was about to die.
That was quite challenging! Well done. The random level layout kept it fun to keep trying!
A mini Zelda! I was expecting a short game given the screen layout, but, was pleasantly surprised. Great game!
The controls are a little difficult, though. It's very hard to hit enemies with diagonal bullets, and it would be nice if I could move and aim simultaneously with different controls, such as WASD to move and arrow keys to shoot, such as in The Binding of Isaac.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
The blue "dash" icon increases your movement speed, and the "bundle of arrows" icon increases your fire rate. I decided to make health items more common than the stat boosts, but I'm worried I ended up making the game too easy. XD
Wow! I could see a post-compo version of this being pretty popular, it's kind of Gauntlet meets Binding of Isaac and i like it. I wander if a Gauntlet style multiplayer might work here, either with larger rooms or a larger grid to let everyone explore separately. Could be competitive like that too. Something to think about.

Cool game, although the controls were super sensitive for me? The dude was running like 1000 miles an hour. Maybe just me though.
Liked the randomness of the levels.
Really nice interpretation of the theme. And awesome that the map is randomly generated. Those last levels get brutal though :P. Managed it in the end :D
The issue I have is that a few times I entered a room and was immediately hit by an enemy taking away all my hearts in one go :(. Most games get around this by adding temporary invincibility, maybe that would work better then having the player pushed back? Or maybe have both?
I got that darn crown. Am I king now? :)
Awesome game. I found it hard at first, but then it got better once I got the hang of some of the rooms and the monsters.
The micro-graphics are great!
Would be nice if there was a sound each time you loose a heart - didn't even catch that at the beginning.
Well done, it feels very polished.
Yeah, there's supposed to be mercy invincibility in there (the brief knockback period), but it doesn't quite seem to work as intended. I tweaked the "patrol" formations because I noticed it was too easy to unwittingly run right into them right as you're entering a room, but I only ended up making a different set of entrances deadly. ^_^;
Again, I prioritized making sure the game ran the way I wanted it to over implementing sound. It's a sore spot for me (it's the ONLY LD game I've ever made that doesn't have sound), but for me it was a choice between that and making sure the dungeon generation worked as intended. I'll probably do a post-comp release with sound and a bit more polish.
Several very cool things here! The tiny graphics are tight, the way you "disobey" the layout fitting on the screen in the traditional sense, and the random generation that keeps retrying interesting all work very well together.
Controls were also nice and tight.
Really nice entry, great job. Only thing I needed was a little more variety.
I love the pacing of this game, and the random elements to it. Got a real feeling of success from making it all the way through to the crown! Interestingly, the game became more about constantly moving and dodging once my speed became high enough. I also worked out a strategy of leaving heart pieces I found if I already had full health, letting me backtrack to replenish it. My final run was pretty lucky, spawning 3 rooms with items (2x bows, 1x speed boost) adjacent to each other, and also getting through 3 levels of the dungeon in about 10 rooms. Well done!
Cool game! I like the randomly generated map. I also like it that some rooms are overlapped so there are actually more space than it seems on the screen. Nice work!
Needs sfx.
It does.
Right now I'm in the middle of an extensive refactoring of the game's code. Hopefully I'll actually have a post-comp version ready before the comp is actually over. ^_^;
