This is a really fun game, i actually bookmarked it to play it again later. Art looks great, sound is great, and again, it's really fun. Good job dev.

hiinds 2018-08-12 21:16

Thank you for your comment ! I really appreciate. Some things might be better but I think the game is fun with this version.

This is a great game. I love the dice rolling animation and the inventory management. The art looks really nice as well.

Great concept ^^ However, you can break the game with high agility and crit because these stats grown very slowly for monsters (if they grow...) Is it possible to have the source code ?

sthor726 2018-08-13 20:04

Really liked this game. Definitely one of the better ones I've seen

notbadgun 2018-08-14 09:14

Pixel art looks really nice as well!

The combat is just a piece of video (just kidding). Better to increase the chance to treasure rooms, I don't really fall in troubles with package space because I died way earlier. So sad. Overall, well done!

deniskazantsev 2018-08-14 09:23

I can't figure out what to press right after title screen when dice rolled. I tried all keys on my keyboard but without result. Please let me know what controls are, I really want to try your game.

hiinds 2018-08-14 09:24

@guardhei the "Luck" was meant to increse the chance of finding treasure. It's just not implemented in this version :( But thanks for playing !

hiinds 2018-08-14 09:29

@deniskazantsev It's the right directional arrow ! :)

matzetoni 2018-08-14 09:33

My highscore: 900 at room 22 :)

hiinds 2018-08-14 09:34

@matzetoni Congrats ! :clap: I hope you enjoyed playing it !

Fun game, I like it! The pixel art looks great as well.

Minor thing, when the inventory is full you can't see the stats on the picked up item unless you drop it so it ends up below your inventory. Took me a while to figure that out.

Other than that, great job!

matzetoni 2018-08-14 09:47

@hiinds Well done, only thing that bugs me is, that 'continue' and 'trash' have the same button. I kept throwing away stuff I really needed :P

hiinds 2018-08-14 09:52

@matzetoni haha yep that's the limitation of PICO-8 (4 arrows and 2 buttons). I must add a confirm step when deleting an item (but actually it's part of the gameplay, you feel more frustrated haha :p )

sprvrn 2018-08-14 10:00

I kept dying and I don't really know how to beat the game. But that was a rather innovative system (or at least, I don't see that "tabletop rpg"-like in videogame mechanics often). Also really fit the theme well. Good job!

hiinds 2018-08-14 10:10

Thanks for playing @sprvrn. The game is not really balanced (it's kind of hard in less than 48 hours) so yep, if you are not very lucky with dices, you can die quite often but some runs may last longer ;)

ever 2018-08-14 10:55

You really nailed the pico8 style, love it. With some balancing there really is a lot of potential there!

hiinds 2018-08-14 11:07

Thanks for playing and for your kind words @ever ! I will definitely balance everything and fix big issues for the release :)

deniskazantsev 2018-08-14 16:13

Very minimalistic dungeon crawler, definitely like it. Looks pretty solid, but not enough game progression. I'm also didn't had time for it :(

hiinds 2018-08-14 16:33

@deniskazantsev thanks for playing ! At least you understood the concept, the game is kind of limited actually so I will make a new version :)

wongkongphooey 2018-08-14 21:15

Nice! Quite a lot of depth of a jam game, and always nice to see ones made in Pico-8! The dice rolling animation is nicely done, and I didn't come across any bugs etc. Well done!

kubenexion 2018-08-15 10:29

Really nice game, especially for a compo! Highscore at 1000 room 23

It's a bit hard to see your new item stats when your inventory is full.

namnam 2018-08-15 15:04

Rrès chouette aussi. J'aime beaucoup l'aspect minimalist que ce soit au niveau du graphisme ou du gameplay avec le ptit aspect rogue like par dessus. Manque ptet une ptite musique épique par dessus ^^

superqgs 2018-08-15 15:42

Took me awhile to find out that I was supposed to use the right arrow, but after that it was a great experience!

monetai 2018-08-15 15:43

A PICO8 game YEAHH! It was fun! my best was room 16 =) The gameloop is fun and clear and the graphics are very cool. The sound design is maybe a little to simple. A solid entry anyways!

hiinds 2018-08-15 17:12

@wongkongphooey Thanks for playing and for those kind words ! 💪

@kubenexion congrats for reaching room 23 ! 🎉 I definitely have to find a way to show the new item stats when the inventory is full. Thanks !

@namnam merci beaucoup ! J'ai encore pas mal d'expérimentation à faire pour créer de bonnes musiques sur PICO-8 :p Je vais essayer d'en faire une pour la sortie officielle

@superqgs thanks for playing ! You are not the only one that struggled with the right key haha

@monetai thanks for your kind words 💪 hope you enjoyed it !

Cool idea! I was looking forward to playing LD games that used limited inventory for the theme! The graphics look great and I like the die rolling graphics and sound. I got to room 10. I'm not sure if there is a way to heal your HP? It seemed like I didn't have much control in the game and there was a lot of luck involved. Otherwise I think you did a great job!
