I liked being Crime Goblin, I was having some issues with not getting gem pickup prompts that I assume I was supposed to be getting? I couldn't seem to interact with anything really. The traps sure interacted with me, though. I went from Crime Goblin to Human (goblin?) Torch in NO TIME. Nice little concept!

Thanks for your feedback! Not being able to interact with anything is a bug that occurs after you become a ghost and revive yourself. Pretty sad that we couldn't fix it in time as becoming a ghost frequently was supposed to be part of the gameplay loop.

I enjoyed the goblin's sassy dialogue!

Thank you for your feedback! We weren't sure if we'd have enough time to implement the dialogue, and we ended up implementing it in during the last hour.

Cool concept, but slightly confusing for my litt brain! 0.0

Thank you for your feedback! I also confused my teammate because he couldn't figure out which portals to connect with each other in the code.

I like the concept and the various mechanics that you implement here. Is unfortunated that you couldn't fix the bugs in time, because them detract from the experience.

Thanks for your feedback! The bugs were really annoying because they appeared only a few hours before the deadline.

I like the idea of a dungeon crawler that goes in loop! It's also my first jam and I really understand well how the "unpolished game" feeling is. But I think it was a nice shot! Great job!
