Controls are great. Graphics are great. Challenge progression is kind of slow. I need reason to eat more humans.

It's pretty fun but it's hard for me to play platformers that focus on concentration. For example, the 3rd lvl has a lot of water so that basically neutralizes any stat bonuses. Jumping out of visibility adds to the difficulty. The graphics and audios are very nostalgic for me and reminds me of my NES days. I levels were well-thought out and I appreciate the common keys for movement. Really feels great to stumble upon a secret location :)
Everything is pretty solid. No complaints here.
Control is definitely difficult but I can appreciate the potential automation that can happen from them.Great graphics and cute audio. Keep it up.
I really like how you set it up so that I had to stay low health to get the most coins.
Edgy. Great song.
I have a hard time jumping because I have an ergo keyboard which has ctrl and z on the same key. I know it's a fringe case but I figure I should still point it out. You have the most innovative implementation of the theme I've seen so far. Great job!
Really nice start! Fighting through an area is kind of slow but if I wasn't in such a hurry, I definitely wouldn't mind as much. The music is great! I would've loved to hear more compositions. Graphics are pretty good too. You definitely have a lot of content for an LD game.
I like how you used the theme to give balance in the flexibility of options. Reminds me of how some old schools RPGs balanced starting stats. Duck hunt isn't too unique to me but major nostalgic points. Nice job
Couldn't really shoot or move properly but the graphics are really nice. Can't really go wrong with 8-bit sound either :)
Has a lot of potential. Good execution of theme. No problem understanding how everything works. Only issue is that when I won, it said I failed. It's okay though because I know I won :)
Cannibalism??? You sir, are a mad man. Fits the theme so can't really blame you. No complaints about the art. Good use of color. I agree with ramping up the difficulty since the learning curve is pretty minimal.
The beginning feels very grindy with the slow movement. I understand it makes the shop more worth it but it feels like I have to suffer a lot just to get to the good part. However the art and animation is amazing. A couple of tweaks and you got something really gold here.
Great graphics.
Solid and straight-forward TD that fits the theme. No complaints :)
It's a great idea but the execution can use some work. I need something to drag me into it. Something more to say "hey it's worth figuring it out". As a fellow dev though, I can totally see where you're going with this and I still think there's a lot of potential. Graphics and audios are solid. Keep up the great work!
The adult phase is HILARIOUS. I also like how the panels transition but only for the training portion. Graphics and audios are both amazing. It's too bad it's not a complete game but hey as a concept, I think it's completely sellable and leaves me wanting more :)
I haven't really played any reverse TD games before. I think it's pretty interesting and fun. Has a lot of potential!
Great job given your limited time to participate. The damage needs more of an impact. I feel that would keep me playing longer. Please keep making games :)
The controls are smooth. Animations are great. I like how the backgrounds change. Sound effects are good. Pretty simple game concept but definitely works for such a short dev time. Not sure how it fits the theme but hey all good.
Cute graphics and music. You managed to make the theme work quite well for your game. I wasn't really clear with how the shop and activating the boxes and opening chests worked but I figured it out eventually. I would probably simplify that down a bit since it could leave a bad first impression. It's not easy making puzzles and not to mention storing them so major props to all your effort in such a short time.
Great Art. Controls are difficult. Not sure how to get past first level. Don't know how to open door. Has potential. Keep it up!
@moonlens Thanks for the recommendation! I can't wait to start coloring everything!
@zimennik omg you're too nice. I hope to keep getting better at drawing.
@danga Thanks for pointing out the two issues. I will make it a priority to find a way to solve it.
@furtive-pygmy I'm so sorry! I really wish I had time to implement something that epic!
@star-garden way too kind. I don't deserve it! <3
@jk5000 I hear you. Polishing is a major weakness for me but someday! someday...
@xcvzxc Yeah I try really hard not to explain too much on purpose because you telling me that you don't understand really helps me know where I need to focus. Thank you so much!
@paul59 Yeah I know what you mean but the issue is I didn't want to rely on mouse overs but I also didn't want to create too many steps for picking up weapons. If you have other ideas, please let me know! Thanks
@memel06 Thanks for your kind words! I'm still working on my drawing fundamentals so I'm not really confident in making polished art. I hope when I get better, I will come back and polish the art up :)
@b3agz Yes normally I would add audio but since this is my first time making a rogue-like, the random map generation was really challenging for me and ate a lot of my time up. I learned a lot and hopefully better judge my ability and use my time more wisely so I can still squeeze in some audios.
@evogengames Thanks for your comment! I will definitely work on it.
@diesdas Thanks for your nice comments! I will definitely take your suggestions to heart!
I like your style but I can't play too long because the pink hurts my eyes. You are a funny man. Keep it up!
