Hey, awesome job on the game! I absolutely loved the art style. I had a little trouble following the map because there were no collisions, but I loved the music and the overall aesthetic.

I died in the last fight i was surronded by 20 of those enemy gotta givia second try later. the game lagged a bit for me and the sound was a bit glitchy but it could be just me my browser sucks. good art. i really liked it

I really liked the art style and and animations. The combat is satisfying and exploring the world was fun once I got the hang of it. I couldn't quite understand the puzzles though but I did like fighting bad guys!

Heya! Nice one you have here! The art is really good! That’s definitely the highlight. That said, I felt a bit lost at first. If you jump straight into the game without reading the page, it’s not very clear what you’re supposed to do. Some more in-game guidance or feedback would help a lot.

I also noticed that if you don’t play in fullscreen, the canvas doesn’t fully resize to the viewport. And at one point (maybe after switching fullscreen on and off?) I was able to walk past the map boundaries… not sure if that was intended or just a small bug.

Overall though, solid man! Nice work!

Hey guys! Your game has nice visuals and music! Thanks for explaining what to do, because otherwise it would be hard to solve the puzzle. The game reminds me some rogue-like/don't starve-like driven game. Good job! :)

disturbing game ....

Really great game ! The visuals and sounds are really good. I love the "wavy" post processing effect. Pretty understandable without tuto (I didn't read the description before playing the game). Lack of some feedbacks maybe. But I appreciate that I could hit the environment with my sword.

Overall really great job in one week.

Cool game, I really like the visuals, i agree it’s easy to get lost

Nice game! I found a bug: I couldn't see my inventory even after refreshing the page. Overall, I really like it!

Submitted(+2)

Very nice game, I enjoyed it.

The enemy kill feedback feels satisfying and beautiful.
Well done!
Feel free to check out our game too if you’re exploring submissions.

Cool game! I like the art style and the music! probably the camera distortion at the edges was a bit too much for me and also the exploration could be improved but great job!

Submitted(+1)

I got lost a couple of times, but the exploration was really fun beyond that. I didn't know you had to full screen at first I was a little lost, but after the full screen it made sense. really liked the art style and subtle music. nice game

Fun game, I really liked the exploration aspect of it.  Idem for the visuals.
As others have pointed out, some form of minimap would be nice. But I can also understand that it would take away some of the exploration. Maybe experiment with some other way of wayfinding!

The non-fullscreen web embed doesn't scale properly, you might want to fix that.
