Hi, could you bind ZQSD and arrows as well, please ? Thx !

cristianbatista 2015-12-15 01:34

Nice idea, i like roguelike as hell :D

mdelally 2015-12-15 01:37

The darkness was a lot more terrifying than I thought it would be. Good job, this is a really fun game!

red_fan-games 2015-12-15 01:37

Hello darkness my old friend...

everard999 2015-12-15 01:38

I love the graphics!! :D nice entry!

Really awesome game, easily sunk like half an hour into it. Very fun, tons of unique attacks, and really good aesthetically. Great job!

Very fun. Takes a little bit to figure out what to do at first though (even with the tutorial screens)

Linux build doesn't seem to do anything beyond locating joysticks. However, the Windows version seems to work under wine. (I haven't tried it beyond the start screen, yet.)

Nice job, loving pretty much everything I'm seeing!

vitasamode 2015-12-15 02:40

Fun Game, I like the visuals, lighting effects and growing mechanic. Good Job!

lavwa 2015-12-15 02:47

Nice graphics ! Like the concept :)

andarilhoz 2015-12-15 02:51

Nice Gameplay, i just thought its a little difficult to destroy the darknes, and it grows really fast,

gtron 2015-12-15 02:59

I like the interpretation of growing as a means toward a lose condition instead of a win condition. The game is really fun and has a lot of depth for a surprisingly low level of complexity.

Very nice visuals and fun gameplay! I liked it, spent a good amount of time on it :D

I enjoyed the lighting effects. The audio was great.

tantumgames 2015-12-15 07:09

Great art and interesting idea. Gratz!

korvexx 2015-12-15 08:13

Okay. This is the best game I've seen yet. I'm keeping this one for later to show my roommate. Good freakin' job. Love it!

I really enjoy all the different types of ammo you get. I enjoy exploring those things in games, and I'm glad you added them in. The music was amazing. The art was amazing. The game was just great you guys.

Also, I LOVE THOSE CHEATS. So much fun! Btw, sword plus cats = best combo ever. Thanks for making this guys! :D

Lots of fun especially when messing around with the cheat codes.

timeshapers 2015-12-15 11:58

Neat idea, but needs a bit more polish in the gameplay department.
Fun though.

pokipsy 2015-12-15 14:43

Very fun concept ! Perhaps the game is a bit too difficult though, or maybe i'm just not very good ^^

arcturusdeluxe 2015-12-15 15:03

Nice game. I like the variety of powerups. The effect of the darkness constantly spreading is well done and is satisfying to fight back against it. Nice graphics and music too.

lugalias 2015-12-15 19:18

Some fun gameplay here, but very difficult. Needs some balancing but it is quite good! The audio was a bit off somewhere, whether it was just volume balancing or something else, I can't quite put my finger on it...

shrub 2015-12-17 00:19

I cant even beat the first floor... also what does aura do?

ugiwithaknife 2015-12-17 00:49

Lots of fun! I got just to floor 2 and I must say it was challanging. Good job!

ssjmetroid 2015-12-17 01:12

Very well made entry. I thought it was a little difficult, but it wasn't too bad. My main complaint I guess was the tutorial.. I hate tutorials that you have to read like instruction manuals :S

split82 2015-12-18 10:36

Very nice :) A lot of fun.

juxipolo 2015-12-19 17:17

love the music! Game play is fun, but can be hard if you don't find a convenient powerup early

phocker 2015-12-23 01:21

this was lots of fun - and difficult - keep it up

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-05 15:44

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/DUttdjt5uB4
