I love pixel art and I also love dungeons. The darkness gives a cool seasoning to the game. Congratulations!

I also made a game for this LDJAM. Come try it out!  https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/junkebox-panic

Nice work :) The creepy dripping sound effect in the background and the low visibility really lended nicely to the dungeon mood

I really liked it, took me a few attempts to get into it. A tip for people having difficulties with the controls I can actually use the arrow keys, and that's easier for me when the attack is on the [z] key. I got pretty far in my last attempt, I went down about 8 levels, until I spawned stuck (I think a ladder spawn rigth on me preventing movement. But small issues like this are to be expected when you have so little time.

Great job!

Strange sound effects haha. Interesting idea. Somewhat fitting of the jam! I like the walking animation. Attack animatioun could use a little work.

Good solo entry!

I think a mini map and an heads up for the enemy to come, would be a huge increment for this game! Nice entry, good dungeon vibes!

The game over sound is really naughty :smirk: Good luck!

@falak lol! it's not what it sounds like! I promise! I was looking for a baby grunt sfx, that's the closest clip I could find.

@yadi :laughing:

Nice game, but with an extraordinary death sfx haha :smiley: . The controls and the combat can be improved. I liked the random generation. It works very nice. I love the select from 3 items system at the end of the levels. Art is very good, the animation can be improved. I liked the atmosphere with the dripping sound as well. Nice work!

Very hard game, kept dying. The sound effect for death was quite... naughty :joy: WASD+Z is not very comfy, but arrows+Z works just great. Love that the dungeon is procedurally generated (or at least seems to be). The potion of speed is more downgrade than upgrade as with the default light radius it's easier to bump into enemies.

How do you strike downwards?

I like the ambient sound and the dungeon tiles. A bit too hard for my taste. The enemies are so fast and unpredictable to hit! But congratulation that you released something playable!

Nice game I like roaming around the dungeon and the game feel in general, one thing I have to say though is that I can't seem to kill the enemies that are higher or lower than me.

An interesting use of the theme, in my opinion. I guess this is some sort of roguelike, but with the twist of spending your life? I know there's a potion of light, but the initial darkness felt a tad overwhelming, and the enemies attacked me even after reaching the entrance to the next floor which led to me hastily purchasing items. Also, sometimes the game would just lock up entirely and I'm not sure why (this was in the web build). Aside from some little things, I think with a little polishing and balancing this could actually be very fun!

Nice game, especially graphically, roguelike type. :crossed_swords:

raphiell 2019-05-08 01:07

Well done! I enjoyed the sound design! The atmosphere was good. It seemed like buying more potions of light didn't increase my vision. As well I found it was hard to tell when my attacks would hit, or when opponents would be hitting me.

Interesting game - the visual range felt a bit too small for me, I could not anticipate enemies much, which made me die a lot :P The upgrade system give some choice and diversity, and the visuals are nice and a bit a-typical which is fun.

Fun idea! The controls became very slidey after the speed boost potion.
