Nice twist on modern text based rpg games.
I wish you didn't swing that cursed blade in front of my face. I could really use that XP points :D
Some sound effects would add a lot to the game. Also maybe a fast paced music to fit game tempo. But who am I kidding... Not enough time, right?
As I mentionned in gm48.net, sound would have helped for immersion! Dying out of nowhere feels a bit harsh, especially considering we may get cursed items ^^ (seems like the html5 version, as opposed to the gm48 one, has cooldwon on hits, is it intentional?)
@kwisarts Yeah, I was able to add cooldowns to attacks in the 1 hour between GM48 ending and Ludum Dare compo ending. Also the horrible death timer in the GM48 version was added in literally the last couple minutes of the jam, so I was able to take a few more minutes to add a restart button in this version.
Sorry for all the dying out of nowhere! I think it's mostly a mistake with enemy critical hits. There's also the possibility of spending your last hit point, which I should probably disallow. And one way that's a bug, which I kind of think of as winning the game (but it still just says you died)
Woah, loved it!
That was surprisingly fun, not usually into clicker games, but this one is pretty good. Also, being able to turn into a 50000+ HP blob of meat and rolling over everything was real fun. Good work!
Great game! The most fun I've had playing LD games. I like these abstracted versions of existing games. I think the actions (Fight, Heal, ect) need a little more feedback, like particle effects, sounds and such. I like the magic balance and the UI looks clean. I loved it when the UI changed color, great choice.
Picked up the cursed blade...oops. The UI got darker and darker. Very cool!
The thumbnail fooled me, it looked like a kanban board. :)
It took me a while to understand how the game works, but after a while breaking my head I was able to play. Great fun. Congratulations for the game.
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzOZLoFym_o
I really liked this game, it was very fun to play. However, the cursed blade was so incredibly OP, i could just stand in the town and upgrade all my stuff to lv 10 from the base health regen...
If this game was balanced, had more content and a little more polish (better feedback and stuff like that), i could see it beinh sold on steam.
I really liked this game too! I'm going to try one more time to see if there's content above floor 15-20 or so, but the first time I got there I died in town while upgrading vitality (to an absurdly high level).
@ed-b Congrats on beating the game by increasing your health over 2,147,483,647 which gets rounded down to 0 because the round() function in gamemaker uses 32-bit integers.
The floor numbers keep increasing forever, but there's nothing worth doing in the tower after devouring the blade. The plan was to have an item that allows you to buy upgrades when you're not in town, so you could just keep going to the next level without having to return to town, but I didn't get around to it.
