I love the art style and the game mechanics. A full potential to be a proper published game. Love the upgrade systems and the planning of how to use the invincibility.

Developer

Thanks a ton! Hopefully it will become a full game in the future. It will depend on the reception outside of the jam.

Love the 2.5D style. The environment has a cool vibe and the game loop is fun!!

Developer

Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback.

Submitted(+1)

The 2.5D pixel art looks really good, it gives the game a strong identity right away and just feels nice to look at. The sound design is also super satisfying, it really adds weight to everything and makes the whole experience more immersive. Saw people mentioning how polished and addictive it feels, and I can totally see that, it’s easy to get hooked even with the slower pacing at times . Would really appreciate it if you could rate my game too

Developer

Thanks for the great compliments! It's awesome to hear you enjoyed it so much even through some of the slower parts. Will definitely check out your game soon. Look out for feedback from my partner const0 since my itch account is getting restricted for commenting too much.

Nice game and super polished!
I played for ages.
Good Job and Good luck in the Jam.

Developer

Thank you! Glad it kept you hooked to keep playing. Gonna go check out your game and leave feedback soon as well. Look out for feedback from my partner const0 since my itch account is getting restricted for commenting too much.

Very fun to play! I really enjoyed the game loop, I also love the environments and sound design/progression. Feels very polished and well planned. The only thing I wish was if the player could get a little further without dying so often early on, other than that top notch!

Developer

Thank you for the compliments! Your game was great as well.

Love the artstyle, its absolutely beautiful! Are you planning to make this a full release?

Developer

I appreciate it! We're hoping to get enough positive feedback to warrant a full release. We'll at least work on it for one more future update and see how the reception is outside of the gamejam. 

Gonna try your game out soon and leave some feedback! Look out for feedback from my partner const0 since my itch account is getting restricted for commenting too much.

I really enjoyed it. Really good game, I’ll definitely check it out in future updates! As previously said, please make movement a bit faster :D

Developer

Thank you! Will definitely tweak the movement speed in the future. We just left some feedback on your game as well!

I think the overall vibe of this game was really good! I liked how it was first person so it made me feel like I was going through the stages personally. I think this would be a good VR game actually! The only mechanic I wish would be less tedious was the coin gathering in the corridors. It's a nice source of money so I wish it was more convenient to see and gather. Besides that, I can see this actually becoming a full Steam game! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks Krad! That's great feedback about the coins in the corridor. We will probably make the click hitbox bigger for those in the future.

The shaky camera, the quirky art, the creative implement of invincibility, the procedurally generated dungeon, omg I love your game. There's almost no nitpicking I can give for you at all! I guess the game needs more music though but other than that it's awesome! Brilliant work, you guys! Bravo!

Developer(+1)

Thank you Ryuto! Really appreciate it! I can definitely see the sound track getting repetitive. Hopefully we can add more in future builds! const0 showed me your game too and it was awesome art!

Submitted

Thank you for your praises! Wish you best of luck!

I really enjoyed this a ton. I know you've already heard this from others but my only real wish was that I could move a bit faster because waiting in between rooms adds up time quickly and I am an impatient person, it would also be nice to have more music but the sound effects are perfect, I liked the tink tink sound when mining a lot. Its such a vibe though truly loved it.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yes the movement speed is a definite pain point in this build of the game. You pointing it out still helps though! It makes it clearer to us what we need to work on in the future so I appreciate it. Glad you still enjoyed it a lot. Thanks again for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

From mining to combat to upgrading the perks everything feels delicious, very good in all aspects, solid entry

Developer(+1)

Thanks Lampazzu! Great compliments coming from another incremental developer. I actually played and rated your game back when we first started talking about it but I was restricted from posting more comments on itch. I'll go check if I can now and leave the text portion of the feedback.

Submitted

Oh very nice! will be looking forward to see what you have to say :D

Absolutely loved this game, one of my favorites so far! The aesthetics are brilliant, the controls easy and straightforward without feeling gimmicky, the audio relaxing and not too overbearing AND I LOVE THE POV, it feels like I'm in a theatre if that makes sense... I really want to beat this game so I shall be coming back to it. Splendid job!

Thank you! Glad to hear it's fun enough to make you want to come back. Let me know what you think once you get further!

Damn this game is so polished, definitely feels like I'm playing a full game already. Art is beautiful and gameplay loop feels fresh and even after like 10 minutes of play I can see myself playing for way longer! Very cool game and good luck int he rest of the jam!

Developer

I appreciate it! Awesome hearing these things about our game. I actually played your game before the jam deadline because the art looked so appealing. Gonna go leave a rating for you now!

Submitted(+1)

Your game is incredible. It's super creative and fu,, the visuals are amazing, the music fits, and it fits the theme nicely. Probably one of the best games I've played yet! 

Developer

Thanks! Really appreciate the nice compliments. Will continue working on this game in the future. Gonna try your game now!

The game is fun, and I love the art style, the game looks super beautiful. I was also a bit confused early on, but overall, really good. Maybe I was just confused since I am a bad at gaming.

Developer

Thanks a ton! Really appreciate it. I will try to make the tutorial and onboarding clearer for future builds. Thanks for letting me know

Submitted(+1)

My goodness your game is addictive. I just beat it after playing for ~1h straight. You have a real potential for something great here (although it is already pretty great). The loop is addictive and the reward system feels so good. Congratulation, I can see you winning the jam easily.
 My only grasp is the lack of art for the lightning attack and some pacing issues but great job to you two !

Developer

Thanks a ton! I really appreciate the compliments. It's so awesome to hear when people play through the whole thing. I fully agree with needing better feedback for the lightning as well as the pacing issues. We'll definitely improve on it on future builds. I'll be playing your game soon!

Submitted(+1)

This feels so good to play! Very good progression, sound design and juice overall

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Appreciate it. Will add your game to my list to try!

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed it a lot! I played for way too long 😅 but had to leave it at after starting in room 10.

Maybe for the next jam make progression a little faster? 

With that said, I could sit for hours playing this if I had the time

Developer

Thanks! We could definitely work on the pacing for a jam game. Glad you enjoyed it still!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! A very good game. I dont know how long I have spent playing the game and trying to level up. There's an addictive charm to it.  Absolutely Brilliant!

Developer

Thank you! Really appreciate it! Definitely the main aspect of these incremental games are the addictive dopamine feeling so I'm glad that got through with you. Will get to trying your game soon.
