Graphics are awesome. I did turn on the crt filter but I think they look way better without. Game-play wasn't really my cup of tea. I got how it works, it just becomes really repetitive after a couple levels. Still kept me entertained for a couple minutes which is better than a lot of jam games. Good job, definitely one of my favorites so far.

excellent graphics and smooth animations. I like the idea, but I couldn't figure out what the cards do, so I ended up randomly clicking them and it seemed to work because I kept killing skeletons. Some kind of popup or hover-over text might be a good idea to give more info

I liked it. but it's like there's not enough control. Not enough room types. Especially when you drop three skeletons and literally wait for the whole level to do nothing. a little lacking in involvement. React game is cool. cool art and sound, thanks!

I liked the graphics and atmosphere, but I agree that the game could be shorter, or you could do that we built one corridor (of three levels for example) We finish first corridor and then we build a new one with new type of (room card). Anyway, i liked this game, cool graphics and atmo.

The loop indeed :) Didnt get the point of the game as it was basically playing itself. But the grafic is nice and DD vibes i can appreciate.

Just loved it!!!!!! although needs variety after level 10 i started one shoting eveery skeleton so, maybe adding extra skeleton or changing types would be nice. Still playing it ;D nice one

It's a funny interpretation of Loop Hero, with a bit of progression and cards that have their own effects. It's fun to watch the damage numbers grow, and the visuals are nice.

Nice! You do eventually get to a breakpoint where you oneshot a regular skelly which drops the expected damage per tile from 30-40 precipitously to 0, but it was fun!

nice concept, i would have love to have more choices to make tho, like having to chose to discard a card. Graphics and audio are on point šŸ‘

The graphics in this game are stunning, and the gameplay is intuitive. I would like to have more choices for rooms to place, and a concrete ending (I'm at depth 16 :sob:).

vokietislt 2025-04-08 14:16

I guess i finished the game :D Level 20 and still going

I had to stop playing because otherwise I wouldn't do anything else today. Loved the game. The graphics are spectacular and the gameplay is very solid, I didn't encounter any issues. The SFX were good and the music wasn't too repetitive, you made good choices on those. Would love to see an expanded version of this, with more enemies and stuff. Great work!

It would've been a good one, if you added a couple active abilities that resets every loop. Or risk-taking room choices. In a core is a solid prototype, but needs to have a bit more actual gameplay. I love your tech choice tho)

After beating depth 25, I think I can say some things about this game. Graphics are really goood, just like the sounds. This game is perfect for watching something and having this game open on the other monitor. One thing that I expirienced was that after you reach about 70 ATK, all skeletons are one-shot. My goal was to one-sshot the bosss, but not with the critical attack. After some time, I can say that probably the boss have about 375HP. I thought, that maybe my next goal should be reaching crit chance 100, but right now, the levels are so long. As you can see, I really enjoyed this game.

I liked the style — the auto-mode dungeon crawling and the overall look really worked for me. The style kind of reminds me of Loop Hero, but in a more realistic way.

Adding some cool effects from artifacts could really boost the sense of reward — and you even have space for it right under the battle area!

Arts are really cools, gameplay is a bit clunky sometime regarding inputs but overall fun. Improvement point might be to add some UI arts but overall everything is good, GG all !

Nicely done, feels complete and pleasant to play

alpacalypse 2025-04-08 20:19

Thank you for letting the game run when the window is unfocused.

mremmele 2025-04-08 20:49

The main character looks fantastic—I’d love to know more about the story behind this warrior. I also noticed some similarities to Loop Hero, which I really enjoyed. It feels like a solid foundation for future improvements and new mechanics to grow into something truly great. Awesome job! PS: I also found it much better without the CRT filter

vsesl 2025-04-08 21:04

Cool

Awsome artstyle!

ruslana 2025-04-08 22:39

Lovely pixel art and animations!

jtap 2025-04-09 00:16

Nice game, I like these kind of games, but I would like to have more influence on the process here. Thanks!

odronin 2025-04-09 04:08

@alpacalypse I can't imagine how long it took you to do this. But damn, that's awesome!

d0vid 2025-04-09 11:05

Art is amazing, gameplay loop is simple but very enjoyable, I stopped playing when I was juste one-shotting everything :D

kalabhers 2025-04-10 22:10

Awesome game! When I first saw the unnamed cards at the top, I was worried it would be confusing, but I got hooked really quickly. Such an addictive little thing—would love to see an expanded version with more content and an updated UI!

dumchevdev 2025-04-11 23:21

Either I didn't get to the end of the game without figuring out how to do it, or there is no ending😁 Still, it was fun! The main character is fantastic. I would marry this girl knight no joke. Oh and overall the graphics are really nice.

xparker 2025-04-12 08:18

Certainly matched the theme very well. rather easy the get the grips of it but steep curve to figure out what to place when.
