Such a great game , i'm so sad that i didnt find it till now. I love the idea and it was super fun. It was a little confusing at the start but within a round or 2 you get the hang of it. Little animations for when the automatic items are used would be good (just make them pulse) I would love to see it expanded. I love how you made it in godot !! Only other point would be a ui scaler as on my pc it was a little small but otherwise, what a game

Overall pretty short and sweet experience! Loved the combat system here. My only note is that when I died the first time, there was a big audio bug with the boss theme not ending, so instead of going to the shop I felt more compelled to restart the game instead. Not a bad game at all despite that!

Cloaked HandFantastic little dungeon crawling resource manager! I had a lot of fun and the gameplay loop has you coming back to play more every time! Amazing job!

keep outside the boxI had fun playing this! The art and audio design are great and feel really cohesive together. I did find that my play through felt a little too short, but wanting more of a game is a good thing! Great job!

Cats Love BoxesReally cool idea, I like how everything revolves around the inventory, it makes you think differently compared to other roguelikes
The item variety and synergies make runs pretty fun and addictive once it clicks
Nice job on this, I left a rating. If you get a chance check out my game too, I’d really appreciate it if you could rate it and tell me what you think

Boxin' It!A great game idea, and well executed - there are a lot of items to chose from and synergies to make.
Unless I'm half asleep, what do you do when you run out of attacks?
Only thing I'd personally change, not sure if others would feel the same but if the combat was more in the centre of the screen.
Nonetheless, a very good game!

I'm Not A RobotVery neat concept, im a fan. Buuuut I do find it a bit odd that from my experience, if you run out of attack items its just over and you need to restart. Also if you restart during the boss the music doesnt stop lol, I really liked the artwork and the items did feel pretty good, so overall its a good game!

HINDON HORRORCool concept, I'm probably just dumb but was having trouble attacking, it didn't really click for me. Nice job overall! And thank you for checking out Postal Apocalypse :)

Postal ApocalypseThis is really good and I wish there were more enemies so I could play for longer!
I found the different types of relics and items really unique and they all had really good sprites, I did encounter a bug where items would overlap on top of eachother (or keep the sprite visible in an empty slot) in the windows build but it never fully harmed my experience. I also think the ability to stack health bags would've been nice as sometimes the game wouldn't count them together as a pool of health (eg 10 & 7 = 10), but I think I did see some effects were designed on them not being stackable so that's just a me issue!
Generally I really liked the fast paced music and clean artwork, I really hope you will do more with this in the future!! Great Job!
