Use of the limitation
Since you're a terrible fighter, you can only throw your weapons and any gathered resources in order to fight off the horde!
Cookies eaten
None, but I will be grabbing one to celebrate :)

The visuals are nice, had some problems with differentiate which is stone and iron etc.
After grabbing a lot of resources and crafting my sword, just to throw it at a dude, who then hits me once so that i die instantly wasn`t very satisfying.
I think the player should not "die" when touched by one enemy once.
Game lacks some adventurous music.
And after the tenth time, i dont want to be asked if i want to go on an adventure or stay here...
If you change the gameplay loop a bit, maybe just give the player a basic weapon while still let him throw the resources at enemys, it might be more fun.
Nice art and I love when game show me what buttons I pressed.
Funny game, it looks like a finished prototype. The pixel art is top-notch; everything is kept in a unified style and looks professional—I always struggle with that =). The controls are a bit unusual, but that's probably just a matter of getting used to them. I was playing in the browser, and the game screen was cut off for me; it seems like the size might be set too large.
I like it, it's got cute art with a neat little hub area, makes for a nice way to start the game
It took me a while to realise you can carry more than one item at once and you're supposed to go back down the ladder with the resources you're carrying rather than just hanging around fighting the skeletons, but it was fun once I'd worked that out
On the web version I kept seeing a recursive array error every time a skeleton hit me, and at one point the game seemed to crash when I dropped an item on the floor in the hub area
Thank you! I tested with a W10 build and am discovering there are many differences in HTML5 and error handling! I appreciate you playing for long enough to crash my game :3
I love the look! Pretty fun to and the UI looks great.
Currently no game appears on the webpage
Thank you so much, Someitoj! I foolishly bugtested on the Windows version only until about a half hour before the deadline and discovered a game breaking glitch in the HTML5 build. It's fixed now, hopefully you enjoy the experience!
You did great!
