Very nice retro graphics with interesting gameplay.

Those slimes get me every time! Great little game! 

I had  hard time at first to fully get what was going on, and reading some of the numbers. But aside of that I then really got into the bite sized adventure aspect which is something I always love. Also really like the simple but fun look

Wow, I just had an awesome run that was suddenly interrupted by a skeleton archer with 44 hp. Had to read the manual to figure out how to play, but it was worth it. I think this game has a lot of potential, it’s really addictive. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but the randomness is too random at the moment. It would also be nice to have a turn-based relax mode for slowpokes like me, but then it wouldn’t be a one-button game anymore. Overall, a very good experience!

Took some time to digest the mechanics, but once I did, it was a lot of fun!  Love the simplicity of the controls contrasted with the complexity of info you need to digest to make the right decision of when to swap vs not.  

Loved the sound and graphics, and very impressed with all the info you managed to squeeze into the resolution.

Found it really unintuitive to hold to swap weapons with the current implementation.  I think it'd be better if holding for ~500ms triggered the weapons swap immediately, rather than having to release.  Also having the swap sound effect play repeatedly while I held the button, despite nothing happening is confusing.

It'd be good to refine the early RNG a bit.  You probably shouldn't get shops until at least turn 30.  You should probably guarantee a weapon within the first few encounters.  

Overall an excellent submission, well done!

Excellent use of the first theme; you managed to offer quite a bit of choice with just one button

- Can be a bit hard to parse at times (especially once the speed picks up), but otherwise you managed to work well with the resolution
- Fighting enemies early on doesn't seem to be super worthwhile; I found the meta strat to just be avoiding enemies until I got a stacked weapon.
- Arrows are very hard to react to
- Prices seemed to always outscale my current funds so I never managed to buy anything

Also funny enough you can actually get negative weapon damage from the stat pickups, which I think causes you to take more damage

I love the game conceptually. It looks and sounds great, and plays good. I feel like a lot of the time I just didn't understand the data that was trying to be presented. It's like a contrast between simple 1-button game and reading a spreadsheet.

I liked the dynamics; it's like attacking from below, almost like a ninja.

Oh, I hate archers here :D

I love the execution, animations, sounds and aesthetic are really cool. Good job!

The idea was simple, but still pretty interesting. The execution left a bit to be desired though, mainly in the clarity of how the information is presented. At first, the game feels too slow, but when it speeds up it becomes difficult to parse all the icons.

I'd definitely like to try an updated post-jam version, if you plan on one

I love this idea! I had a hard time parsing the text and numbers - but I understand that's a limitation of the 64 x 64 resolution, and you packed a heroic amount of detail and info into a tiny window.

I wouldn't mind a "beginner" mode, that either runs way slower or is completely turn-based. I understand how the weapons, enemies, weaknesses and abilities should work in theory, but it's a lot for my brain to parse the symbols and their interactions in real-time. I love that this is deep and complex, but I'm ashamed to admit I need a little bit of an on-ramp to understand what's happening.

I did notice that the animation speeds up if the game is left idle, and doesn't necessarily reset when I start/restart the game. Not sure if that is by design!

I continue to be a huge fan of your work! And I might keep this in my back pocket to return to periodically until I have time to wrap my head around it! The art is great, the UI is clean and polished, and the lane-swapping mechanic of brainrot mobile ads feels really cool and purposeful here. Well done!

Clever little gameplay loop! A little difficult to read the UI at first but after a few tries it began to click for me :)

I really like your gameplay proposal, plus I have a passion for one-button games! And frankly it works well, we play games one after the other and we want to go as far as possible. The graphics are cute. My only complaints are I find a lack of visibility on the items and the characteristics of the bad guys and I find that the fact of holding down to change weapons is not great and it lacks visual and audio feedback so that you understand what you are doing. Well otherwise it is a solid proposal as usual.

This is a great addition to the Crawl Universe and a nice spin-off to the Nightcrawl. I like how you can really get into the flow and just keep playing. My only “complaint” is that I wish there would be one more button to parry the arrows.

Really fun! I liked that there was a learning curve. I also love the art style. I did find the skeleton arrows challenging to dodge. Some of the icons also blend in with the background / environment, such as the enemy modifier icons and the weapons. Good job!

A surprisingly addictive little game! I found the gameplay to be decently challenging initially, however by the end of the run I'd racked up a 200+ damage sword! Only to lose it swapping lanes to avoid an arrow...

While the endgame likely needs balancing, I can't say it wasn't fun being that overpowered and running through every enemy that stood in the way!
