I loved this! I dont understand how this hasn't gotten more attention. The aesthetic is well curated and the subtle touches are really appreciated :D The combat was a little confusing at first, but I picked it up quickly. This is a great submission and I hope this is seen by more people soon.

This was fun. It was pretty easy to get all the scrolls required by the guy on the second level. Was there more to the game after that?

I really liked the turn based platforming idea. The combat became pretty simple after a few runs but it stayed interesting the whole time. The graphics were great and felt really smooth. This was a very nice entry!

Really original combat system, loved it. Unfortunately it feels an incomplete game as is.

I like the application of traditional roguelike movement to a 2d sidescroller! I would love to see the concept taken farther.

Reminds me of Necrodancer but without the music pressure (which I liked). You do a great job simplifying it, and it's well-polished and runs well. I think my only real complaint is the lack of progression - it got samey pretty quickly, and even when I delivered 50 scrolls nothing happened. No idea if there was more or not.

The RNG also occasionally dumped into a pit surrounded by enemies with no option but to take a bunch of damage.

I really like the concept of this game as a platformer made turn-based. I'd like to see it built on with more enemy types and levels to ramp up the challenge, but the foundation is good, and the game is very fun to play. Great entry!

Very cool game. I love the twist on the classic platformer.

I really like the movement system and the use of telegraphed attacks. It felt good to play.

Cool game, I like the mix of 2D "platformer" and turn-based movement. Enemies and levels seem pretty basic, but they're randomized enough to be interesting for a bit.

Very nice game! Excellent and quite unique mechanics mixing a turn based system with platforming movement! Great job!
