Nice gameeeeeee, i really liked the idea  and i think it has a lot of potential, i really like the art

What an awesome idea. Even though the hero kind of does their own thing, I still felt fully involved the whole time. Hovering my shield around the battlefield, deflecting things, and nudging pickups toward the hero kept me engaged (even if my precision wasn't always great lol). The custom skill crafting is really interesting and fun to experiment with, and the music fits nicely, too. The pixel art is very charming and crisp, which adds a lot to the overall feel. One small thing I noticed is that the drag-and-drop for events/actions felt a bit finicky at times, maybe double-clicking as well to choose could help, but that's a minor thing. All-in-all, this was a really fun and creative game.

This is a really fun idea and a good use of the theme and limitation. It would have been nice to see a bit more variety in the conditions but aside from that, this was great. The level aesthetic really reminded me of Forager as well which was cute!

I like the idea of creating your own powerups and making synergy in-between them. The gimmick is very interesting and unique, like nothing I have ever seen. Very cool, underrated game! 10/10.

Very fun concept. Loved the idea of custom events -> actions

Very cool! Graphics, sounds and feel are great and the mechanic with the shield is really interesting. Certainly caught my attention and eye with this one. I enjoyed using the shield to push hearts and potions to the hero : ) I got lots of powerups and played until it felt like the risk was gone. Great job.

loved this! genuinely interesting concept, great execution. Only issues i ran into were some performance problems (but i blame that on my setup not being good with web games) and the return to menu button at the end of the run not being responsive (though it could be human error on my part

The only 'issue' i had was the lack of objective and ending, but that isn't such a problem to be real. Good job!

The game is really fun, allthough a bit hard. the shield would be better if it would always be on the mouse, but thats just my opinion!
