I love that you made this in python. The game runs smoothly. The graphics are great for a game like this. The tone and theme work well together. I like the kind of "Crank" inspired murder spree you got going on. The enemies are varied in both appearance and ability and require different tactics. It looks like you spent some time on this, approx 72 hours am I right? Seriously, I really enjoyed this game.
@psychic_ash Thank you! Yeah we used Pygame 2 instead of Pygame, which is still technically still in development, but it's mostly stable and runs really well, so we got an FPS boost from that.
This game is really interesting to me, I love the graphics, but the audio is great, the game play is fun, but I found myself getting stuck on invisible walls, i'm not sure if these are barriers put there on purpose or not. But I enjoyed my time with this game.
Nice pixel art!
Awesome game- reminds me of Nuclear Throne! Had some issues with the movement, but wow- 3 days? I'm impressed! The title image drew me in for sure. Love to hate the bats in this, and when the tall dude teleported for the first time- I freaked out! I did have this occasional issue while running the game. marrow.jpg Oh- also, thank you for the in depth tutorial- it def made the experience more enjoyable for me- though I couldn't ever activate an upgrade. Huge Map! Thanks so much for the game!

Hey, sadly getting this error.
I can play but i have the same error as Joemid,
Anyway, nice graphics, nice gameplay, nice music, great project :D
Nice game. Graphics and sound match well and pacing seems good.
Nice game! The randomly generated levels were always pretty seamless while I was playing, so you did a good job with that. You also did a good job putting together the mood for this game, and the randomized upgrades made things pretty interesting.
One thing I'll add, though, is that there wasn't really any incentive for me to explore deeper into the level. In fact, I was better off camping right outside the altar surrounded by chests just so that I always had a supply of income and health packs. Maybe you could make the upgrades slowly increase in price and make the gold reward higher as you move further from the altar, making it vital to gameplay to go deeper into the level in order to continue to improve your character. Also, the teleporting enemies were a little annoying. If I'm not paying very careful attention to them then they'll teleport right on top of me and do unavoidable damage.
Overall I really enjoyed your game and I spent a lot of time playing it. Great work!
The game was cool, I liked the grainy audio as it reminded me of old retro games. The name and menu design felt quite disconnected from the game itself (I didn't really get why I was wielding a gun), but it was a fun experience!
Fun little game, once you die and try to restart however the game gives and error then crashes.
It didn't start :(((

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
@krakadushka @joemid Sadly we can't really fix this since we can't seem to get the same error to happen on our end. Try downloading a newer version of the game? It's a long shot but it might work.
@brylamare this should be fixed in version 1.0.5
@acr515 Thanks a lot for the feedback! We were low on time by the time we got to the balancing phase, so we didn't have much time to focus on that. We might add it in a newer version :)
@duskel The error message usually shows up when attempting to close the game. It's a problem with python we didn't have time to fix.
@sleepystudios There is an option to let the file run and whitelist it from windows defender. This happened after a recent windows update which made the antivirus act more invasive.
@adam-clayden we would probably have added a more fitting weapon if we had more time :-) the gun was a placeholder
I like this game, great job! Especially cool sound.
@valdee I should have unzipped it. It's working now!
