So cute, love the sprites and the world. Fun to travel UP instead of DOWN.

I’m curious about TIC80 now. The limited inputs and screen of PICO8 were always a bit of a turn-off to me. Great introduction to what it can do.

I highly recommend checking out TIC-80, it's a really fun platform to work with.

Loved the artstyle, the generation felt a bit weird sometimes.

The game looks really good, the combat was a little bit glitchy and controls were kinda confusing, but I had a lot of fun nonetheless

Lovely little game. I really liked the visual polish, with the little animations, color choices, and ui design. The choice of all usable pickups being single-use spells that mapped to the four buttons was a nice innovation, it really sped up the gameplay while adding an additional layer of strategy. The one thing that confused me was the level layout: quite often the exit stairs would be at the exact point where I entered the level.

Thanks! I did notice the exit stair bug right before the deadline, but I didn’t have quite enough time to fix it - I’m hoping to do a post-jam update with a couple little bugfixes and content that didn’t make it into the final game :)
