Great work, nice concept, good beats, On all levels it's a jam, my only issue was that the battle system needs a little work, as others have said it's hard to get the timings down, the difficulty of each battle seems to be random, while i get that it's a roguelike, a difficulty curve would be a welcome addition, to ease players into the combat, maybe it ramps up each time you go through a door or something, idk. you can also beat any enemy, even the bosses by spamming the buttons at random, while this did allow me to see more of the game than i otherwise would have, seeing as combat became a breeze, i think you still need to punish the player for such reckless pluckery . Saying that , a couple tweaks and some more level variety , and you've got a solid game here. 8/10
