wow! this game looks really polished and plays really well! I really like the animations of the player and the enemies. The menus look clean as well. Great game!

Super great looking game! Everything in the game is well designed and polished. Encountered a bug after I died where I spawned on an empty hexagon, but I don't mind at all because of how good everything is!

Thanks for the feedback so far! Two gamebreaking bugs have been fixed:

- Game fails to continue after Floor 5 - Game critically fails when starting a new game

The file is also 90% smaller now. Whew!

That effect when you get hit (and ultimately die) is very, very stylish. Reminds me a lot of when Zagreus dies in Hades!

Amazing entry! Stunning visual and audio design, great work! The amount of enemies was a little overwhelming, but i enjoyed the game a lot!

Audio design, models and animation are stunning for jam. Thank you very much! Highest score from me.

My first perfect rating in this jam. Everything is really well done here. I would like to see an expanded version sometime.

Hello Buried and Nirufa,

Loved this game, probably my favorite so far out of about 20 games I've played. The graphics were super clean and easy on the eyes. The falling rune concept is really neat. I liked how there is a good use/purpose for every mechanic in the game as well.

The only critique or thing you could consider but is not necessary is making it more clear where the objective tiles are. It is not needed but maybe something to experiment with visually?

Thanks for making such a great game :D

Actually amazing, art is so polished and the game is really freaking good, especially for the game jam entry! Well done!

Lovely entry!

Had a lot of fun playing this. Everything just seems so polished from the tile wiggles, to the roguelite elements, to the animations, to the graphics. I'm utterly impressed. I loved the different enemy types. Immediately recommended the game to some of my friends haha.

Oh, I'm not sure if it was me, but I DID feel like some of the 2nd layer's enemies would hit me while I was behind them. < Only critique I have, everything else was top-notch! Looking forward to your entry the next jam!

Lovely entry, especially like the graphics and the audio! Difficulty ramp is a bit steep though.

Incredible game for a jam!

Art is super clean with juicy feedback, sound design is very good. The different mechanics are well done and well explained.

I had a bit of trouble with aiming with my mouse, and I encountered some bugs, but nothing that stopped me from enjoying this beautiful game!

Very good. Amazing visuals, animation and presentation, everything is very good, that hit effect with subliminal messages is very cool. The IK walking hands very cool and creepy but needs bit of fine tuning.

I wish it was a lil easier to get bullets because of how fun it feels to shoot :smile:

Great job overall!

I liked this entry! I think the mood was its strongest point, it was a lovely balance of the visuals and the enemy design that gave that impression. I also enjoyed the approach to taking damage / death screen. I think perhaps the difficulty could have ramped up a bit slower. I enjoyed the "stay longer to power up but you will get overwhelmed if you stay too long".

mhorth 2022-04-10 17:39

Wow this is impressive! Everything is super polished. Sound effects, animations, screen shake, etc. all work together to make every action feel real and visceral.

I took some screenshots of the UI for my reference files, it was soooo clean. Really nice job here!

skyeward 2022-04-10 19:27

@mhorth probably the best feedback we've ever received

Hey there!

This is great. Not only that the game fits the theme, but everything is polished. I love the UI, and the creatures are creepy as hell! About the gameplay: I really enjoyed how you handled the risk/reward by allowing the player to stay longer on floors to get upgrades. Elegant touch! Only thing that I missed is music, but I can't think on something that would fit the mood right now.

Bravo for the game, it deserves more attention!

Sound and animations were really good! I had some lag issues bot aside from that good game!
