I could not get this to work for me, it looks like the game may not have embedded correctly.

Whoops, the Web version on the LD page doesn't seem to work... Screenshot 2024-04-15 162425.png
Also looks like there's nothing in the Download link provided.
It looks really cool! I hope we can get to try it
Not that much here. From the intro screen I had trouble figuring out what button to press to continue. Love the walking animation tho ^^ Had to get the download. that worked for me
@secretjuice @christo-staszewski Sorry about the busted upload. It had some jankyness but should be working now
Didn't look like much going on. It's the start of a project that could go absolutely anywhere. But I do love the goofy walking animation!
I agree, I love the silly walk! I'm surprised you managed to express it with such a small amount of room.
Good start to what could be a fun project! Keep up the good work, glad you shared this with us :)
Same here, could'nt pass the second screen. The music loop make me a bit crazy but pixel art and animation is nice :)
Some of the best walk & idle animations I've seen! I love that the forward idle bobs left and right instead of the typical up and down. Awesome expression. Movement and inventory controls seem pretty solid. Would've loved to see it with some real content! Music was def a bit discordant to listen to over and over too. Also, dat ORB.
dat orb though!
great potential, i'd love to see more of it, i could feel myself getting immersed in a world built here! the layout for the inventory and game world work well. transported me to old school zelda, but with a better walk animation this time
This game is indistinguishable from Diablo, even down to the inventory duplication exploit! Screenshot 2024-04-19 021030.png
Please tag me if you make a post-jam version with more content, I'll play it again.
god thats a good orb
Great start! And, like people have said, great walking animation, I legitimately stared at it for a good minute :D Would like to play more if there'll be a post-jam version!

Thank you very much for your kind comments!
I decided to keep working on it after the compo period and I think I'm going to try to get a version together for a LDJam Extra submission. I already put a ton of work into the game this week, rewriting the codebase in a cleaner way and adding a bunch of polish, though it might wind up increasing the scope a bit too much :sweat_smile:. I got an outline for the puzzles and plot together and would love to get the chance to make a bunch 32x32 and 64x64 animated character portraits and item detail shots for it.
Hope ya'll check out the Extra version when I put it out down the road :grin:

Also let me know if you can guess what show and episode is being referenced in that dialogue :joy:
iirc "The Fonz" is from Happy Days, which is a bit before my time, heh.
I like the updates, not much to play yet, but an attractive look and feel. Thanks for this.
The walk animation is funny.
I'd like to check out the extra version. Tag me when you publish it.
