It's so fun if you go full OP and just rage through all the rooms! 10/10 CoolCat

It's unfortunate that you missed the compo, the game's really fun! The art style is lovely and I enjoyed the gameplay quite a lot. Fun fact, I found out about Ludum Dare from watching your youtube videos. I decided to participate and it was an amazing experience! So thank you for that. :)

Glad to hear it @sholf!

Nice, there's a lot here! I died early a number of times to large groups of soldiers, but once I was established with a party it was easy going. Awesome entry.

Great game, love the idea and the art as i always expect from Shaun :D I hope i was lucky though cause even in 30% i got the more troops called on me :P Fun fact: I like @sholf found out about ludum dare from you and i tried out GameMaker Studio for bit :D So i am always gonna be here looking on your new ludum dare whenever is compo or jam ;)

P.S. I escaped on my first try i guess the best way to do it get more teammates but still be careful :P

It's quite a complete game you've made here! I really like it! Some more sound or music would have helped with the mood, but in terms of gameplay everything works really well!

Balancing aside, this game does feel remarkably polished for a Jam game! It was a ton of fun to play this. Great job!

Cool game. The strategy/roguelike concept is neat and works well. The balance seems a bit off though. I got destroyed in the early rooms of my first attempt, but managed to escape fairly comfortably on my second. I like all the different events you can come across. They add a lot of flavor even if they're not always relevant to the game.

The visual style is very nice with some cool pixel art and smooth animations. The audio is lacking though. The sounds that are there are good but a lot seem to be missing. Some music would add a lot too, but it's not like I have much room to criticise there considering my game has a similar issue.

A very well executed and complete entry. I assume with some luck, I managed to finish in my first go with three survivors in total. Well executed basics usually beat half-finished innovation in a jam game, in my book. With these basics, you can always innovate post-compo. :wink:

The art is classic and works, with room for improvement in the animation department *walking instead of sliding from room to room, for instance). More sound, as mentioned by others above, would also have added a lot to the game.

I played through three times and still ran into new things in my third play-through. I love feeling like there's more to it than I have experienced so far, so kudos there. :smile: Overall a very solid entry.
